Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] xen_hypervisor.c: avoid NULL deref for NULL domain argument

When "domain" is NULL, don't deref NULL. Instead, just return -1, as in many other functions in this file, and as this function did up until a month ago. An alternative (taken 3 times in this file) is to do this: virXenErrorFunc (NULL, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, __FUNCTION__, "domain or conn is NULL", 0); return -1; I could go either way. >From 177556167775b806a29bcb1af7ba4294d1909912 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:17:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xen_hypervisor.c: avoid NULL deref for NULL domain argument * src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c (xenHypervisorGetVcpus): Don't attempt to diagnose an unlikely NULL-domain or NULL-domain->conn error. --- src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c | 7 ++----- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c b/src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c index 6d8accc..0257be2 100644 --- a/src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c +++ b/src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * xen_internal.c: direct access to Xen hypervisor level * - * Copyright (C) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2005-2010 Red Hat, Inc. * * See COPYING.LIB for the License of this software * @@ -3475,11 +3475,8 @@ xenHypervisorGetVcpus(virDomainPtr domain, virVcpuInfoPtr info, int maxinfo, virVcpuInfoPtr ipt; int nbinfo, i; - if (domain == NULL || domain->conn == NULL) { - virXenErrorFunc (domain->conn, VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, __FUNCTION__, - "invalid argument", 0); + if (domain == NULL || domain->conn == NULL) return -1; - }
