[libvirt] [PATCH] remote: Forbid default "/session" connections when using ssh transport

Without the socket path explicitly specified, the remote driver tried to connect to the "/system" instance socket even if "/session" was specified in the uri. With this patch this configuration now produces an error. It is still possible to initiate a session connection with specifying the path to the socket manually and also manually starting the session daemon. This was also possible prior to this patch, This is a minimal fix. We may decide to support remote session connections using ssh but this will require changes to the remote driver code so this fix shouldn't cause regressions in the case we decide to do that. --- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/remote/remote_driver.c b/src/remote/remote_driver.c index fcf45d3..bd5646a 100644 --- a/src/remote/remote_driver.c +++ b/src/remote/remote_driver.c @@ -631,11 +631,21 @@ doRemoteOpen(virConnectPtr conn, break; case trans_libssh2: - if (!sockname && - VIR_STRDUP(sockname, - flags & VIR_DRV_OPEN_REMOTE_RO ? - LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO : LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET) < 0) - goto failed; + if (!sockname) { + /* Right now we don't support default session connections */ + if (STREQ(conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED, "%s", + _("Connecting to session instance without " + "socket path is not supported by the libssh2 " + "connection driver")); + goto failed; + } + + if (VIR_STRDUP(sockname, + flags & VIR_DRV_OPEN_REMOTE_RO ? + LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO : LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET) < 0) + goto failed; + } VIR_DEBUG("Starting LibSSH2 session"); @@ -698,11 +708,21 @@ doRemoteOpen(virConnectPtr conn, if (!command && VIR_STRDUP(command, "ssh") < 0) goto failed; - if (!sockname && - VIR_STRDUP(sockname, - flags & VIR_DRV_OPEN_REMOTE_RO ? - LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO : LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET) < 0) - goto failed; + if (!sockname) { + /* Right now we don't support default session connections */ + if (STREQ(conn->uri->path, "/session")) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED, "%s", + _("Connecting to session instance without " + "socket path is not supported by the ssh " + "connection driver")); + goto failed; + } + + if (VIR_STRDUP(sockname, + flags & VIR_DRV_OPEN_REMOTE_RO ? + LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO : LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET) < 0) + goto failed; + } if (!(priv->client = virNetClientNewSSH(priv->hostname, port, -- 1.8.2.1
