Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] esx: do not store escaped password in esxVI_Context.

This patch fixes an issue where screenshot API call was failing when the esx/vcenter password contains special characters such as apostrophee. The reason for failures was that passwords were escaped for XML and stored in esxVI_Context which was then passed to raw CURL API calls where the password must be passed in original form to authenticate successfully. So this patch addresses this by storing original passwords in the esxVI_Context struct and escape only for esxVI_Login call. --- Changes made since v1: * Also patch esxVI_EnsureSession * Added cleanup to esxVI_Context_Connect to make sure escapedPassword is freed where appropiate. Also move the code block that escapes the password to happen earlier in the function body so that it can bail earlier in the event of failure and skip the rest of the processing. * Updated virReportError calls to pass syntax-check src/esx/esx_driver.c | 22 ++++--------------- src/esx/esx_vi.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/esx/esx_driver.c b/src/esx/esx_driver.c index 00d0e0a..031c666 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_driver.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_driver.c @@ -617,7 +617,6 @@ esxConnectToHost(esxPrivate *priv, int result = -1; char ipAddress[NI_MAXHOST] = ""; char *username = NULL; - char *unescapedPassword = NULL; char *password = NULL; char *url = NULL; esxVI_String *propertyNameList = NULL; @@ -647,18 +646,13 @@ esxConnectToHost(esxPrivate *priv, } } - unescapedPassword = virAuthGetPassword(conn, auth, "esx", username, conn->uri->server); + password = virAuthGetPassword(conn, auth, "esx", username, conn->uri->server); - if (!unescapedPassword) { + if (!password) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED, "%s", _("Password request failed")); goto cleanup; } - password = esxUtil_EscapeForXml(unescapedPassword); - - if (!password) - goto cleanup; - if (virAsprintf(&url, "%s://%s:%d/sdk", priv->parsedUri->transport, conn->uri->server, conn->uri->port) < 0) goto cleanup; @@ -705,7 +699,6 @@ esxConnectToHost(esxPrivate *priv, cleanup: VIR_FREE(username); - VIR_FREE(unescapedPassword); VIR_FREE(password); VIR_FREE(url); esxVI_String_Free(&propertyNameList); @@ -726,7 +719,6 @@ esxConnectToVCenter(esxPrivate *priv, int result = -1; char ipAddress[NI_MAXHOST] = ""; char *username = NULL; - char *unescapedPassword = NULL; char *password = NULL; char *url = NULL; @@ -752,18 +744,13 @@ esxConnectToVCenter(esxPrivate *priv, } } - unescapedPassword = virAuthGetPassword(conn, auth, "esx", username, hostname); + password = virAuthGetPassword(conn, auth, "esx", username, hostname); - if (!unescapedPassword) { + if (!password) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED, "%s", _("Password request failed")); goto cleanup; } - password = esxUtil_EscapeForXml(unescapedPassword); - - if (!password) - goto cleanup; - if (virAsprintf(&url, "%s://%s:%d/sdk", priv->parsedUri->transport, hostname, conn->uri->port) < 0) goto cleanup; @@ -799,7 +786,6 @@ esxConnectToVCenter(esxPrivate *priv, cleanup: VIR_FREE(username); - VIR_FREE(unescapedPassword); VIR_FREE(password); VIR_FREE(url); diff --git a/src/esx/esx_vi.c b/src/esx/esx_vi.c index 6520196..5fb2279 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_vi.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_vi.c @@ -996,39 +996,52 @@ esxVI_Context_Connect(esxVI_Context *ctx, const char *url, const char *ipAddress, const char *username, const char *password, esxUtil_ParsedUri *parsedUri) { + int result = -1; + char *escapedPassword = NULL; + if (!ctx || !url || !ipAddress || !username || !password || ctx->url || ctx->service || ctx->curl) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", _("Invalid argument")); return -1; } + escapedPassword = esxUtil_EscapeForXml(password); + + if (!escapedPassword) { + VIR_FREE(escapedPassword);
