Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] virbitmap: Refactor virBitmapParse to avoid access beyond bounds of array

The virBitmapParse function was calling virBitmapIsSet() function that requires the caller to check the bounds of the bitmap without checking them. This resulted into crashes when parsing a bitmap string that was exceeding the bounds used as argument. This patch refactors the function to use virBitmapSetBit without checking if the bit is set (this function does the checks internally) and then counts the bits in the bitmap afterwards (instead of keeping track while parsing the string). This patch also changes the "parse_error" label to a more common "error". The refactor should also get rid of the need to call sa_assert on the returned variable as the callpath should allow coverity to infer the possible return values. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997367 Thanks to Alex Jia for tracking down the issue. --- src/util/virbitmap.c | 38 +++++++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-)
