As promised, a patch to protect the 80-character "device id" buffer from
overflow by the unbounded "device=" XML attribute. Before, a large
"device" attribute gave a stack overflow error; now it merely results in
an obscure (but non-fatal) xend error like so:
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "invalid
literal for int() with base 10:
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'")
(the long string of "x"es was my way of overflowing the buffer).
Please ACK...
