Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] CVE-2014-8131: Fix possible deadlock and segfault in qemuConnectGetAllDomainStats()

When user doesn't have read access on one of the domains he requested, the for loop could exit abruptly or continue and override pointer which pointed to locked object. This patch fixed two issues at once. One is that domflags might have had QEMU_DOMAIN_STATS_HAVE_JOB even when there was no job started (this is fixed by doing domflags |= QEMU_DOMAIN_STATS_HAVE_JOB only when the job was acquired and cleaning domflags on every start of the loop. Second one is that the domain is kept locked when virConnectGetAllDomainStatsCheckACL() fails and continues the loop when it didn't end. Adding a simple virObjectUnlock() and clearing the pointer ought to do. Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Since this is very low priority and it was mistakenly disclosed in another patch there is no embargo on this CVE. Patches to maint branches will be pushed after back-porting (couple of minutes). Having said that, I am probably not the right one to write up the libvirt security notice, but I'll try drafting one, eventually.
