[libvirt] [SECURITY] PATCH: Fix missing read-only access checks (CVE-2008-5086)
by Daniel P. Berrange
The following methods in libvirt.c are missing a check against the
read-only connection flag:
virDomainMigrate
virDomainMigratePrepare
virDomainMigratePerform
virDomainMigrateFinish
virDomainMigratePrepare2
virDomainMigrateFinish2
virDomainBlockPeek
virDomainMemoryPeek
virDomainSetAutostart
virNetworkSetAutostart
virConnectFindStoragePoolSources
virStoragePoolSetAutostart
If using PolicyKit auth, the default policy will allow any local user
to make a read-only connection to the libvirtd daemon without needing
authentication.
If not using PolicyKit, the default libvirtd.conf configuration settings
will allow an unprivileged user to make a read-only connection to the
libvirtd daemon without needing authentication.
Thus out of the box unprivileged local users may be able to migrate VMs,
set or unset the autostart flag for domains, networks & storage pools,
and access privileged data in the VM memory, or disks.
All TCP remote connections are read-write, and default settings require
full authentication, thus remote access is not impacted by this flaw.
Administrators can apply a workaround by editting /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
to explicitly set 'unix_sock_ro_perms' parameter to '0700'. Restart the
libvirtd daemon after making this change.
The first vulnerable release was 0.3.2, where the virDomainMigrate API
was added for the Xen driver. Other APIs were added in various subsequent
releases depending on the hypervisor driver in question.
The attached patch has been committed to CVS, and OS distributors are
recommended to apply this patch to all existing releases shipped. It
was diff'd against current CVS head, and applies against 0.5.1, and
is trivially re-diffable for all earlier releases.
This flaw has been assigned the identifier CVE-2008-5086

[libvirt] libvirt and 192.168.122.0/24
by H. Peter Anvin
I'm kind of wondering why libvirt defaults to 192.168.122.0/24 by
default. It is a piece of address space which is relatively likely to
conflict with address space used in the environment surrounding the
machine. Since libvirtd is on by default if installed, this is
particularly problematic.
I would like to suggest either one of the following as default address
space, unless the user has explicitly configured otherwise:
192.0.2.0/24 - reserved as "test and example network"
198.18.0.0/15 - reserved as "benchmark test network"
See RFC 3330 and RFC 2544 for the definitions of these networks. Both
of them are "should not appear on the public Internet" address blocks,
and much less likely than the RFC 1918 address block (10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16) to be encountered "in the wild" by a
user.

[libvirt] [PATCH] let gcc's -Wformat do its job; avoid "make syntax-check" failure
by Jim Meyering
I first noticed that "make syntax-check" failed.
Then I saw that virAsprintf's prototype lacked ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT.
This fixes both and updates HACKING.

+Printf-style functions
+======================
+
+Whenever you add a new printf-style function, i.e., one with a format
+string argument and following "..." in its prototype, be sure to use
+gcc's printf attribute directive in the prototype. For example, here's
+the one for virAsprintf, in util.h:
+

Fix _FILE_OFFSET_BITS re-definition
Since config.h contains the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS setting (a little dubious
in itself), it must be the first header included, otherwise system
headers can define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS differently themselves.
