By specifying parentIndex in a call to virNetworkUpdate(), it was possible to direct libvirt to add a dhcp range or static host of a non-matching address family to the <dhcp> element of an <ip>. For example, given: <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'/> <ip family='ipv6' address='2001:db6:ca3:45::1' prefix='64'/> you could provide a static host entry with an IPv4 address, and specify that it be added to the 2nd <ip> element (index 1): virsh net-update default add ip-dhcp-host --parent-index 1 \ '<host mac="52:54:00:00:00:01" ip="192.168.122.45"/>' This would be happily added with no error (and no concern of any possible future consequences). This patch checks that any dhcp range or host element being added to a network ip's <dhcp> subelement has addresses of the same family as the ip element they are being added to. This problem was noticed when looking at the reproduction case for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182486 (but is not a solution to that bug). --- src/conf/network_conf.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/conf/network_conf.c b/src/conf/network_conf.c index 23ec369..15501ec 100644 --- a/src/conf/network_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/network_conf.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * network_conf.c: network XML handling * - * Copyright (C) 2006-2014 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2006-2015 Red Hat, Inc. * Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Daniel P.
