CVE-2016-5008
Setting an empty graphics password is documented as a way to disable
VNC/SPICE access, but QEMU does not always behaves like that. VNC would
happily accept the empty password. Let's enforce the behavior by setting
password expiration to "now".

The libvirt file system storage driver determines what file to
act on by concatenating the pool location with the volume name.
If a user is able to pick names like "../../../etc/passwd", then
they can escape the bounds of the pool. For that matter,
virStoragePoolListVolumes() doesn't descend into subdirectories,
so a user really shouldn't use a name with a slash.
Normally, only privileged users can coerce libvirt into creating
or opening existing files using the virStorageVol APIs; and such
users already have full privilege to create any domain XML (so it
is not an escalation of privilege). But in the case of
fine-grained ACLs, it is feasible that a user can be granted
storage_vol:create but not domain:write, and it violates
assumptions if such a user can abuse libvirt to access files
outside of the storage pool.
Therefore, prevent all use of volume names that contain "/",
whether or not such a name is actually attempting to escape the
pool.
This changes things from:
$ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128
Vol ../../../../../../etc/haha created
$ rm /etc/haha
to:
$ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128
error: Failed to create vol ../../../../../../etc/haha
error: Requested operation is not valid: volume name '../../../../../../etc/haha' cannot contain '/'

Since commit 8eb55d782a2b9afacc7938694891cc6fad7b42a5 libxml2 removes
two slashes from the URI when there is no server part. This is fixed
with beb7281055dbf0ed4d041022a67c6c5cfd126f25, but only if the calling
application calls xmlSaveUri() on URI that xmlURIParse() parsed. And
that is not the case in virURIFormat(). virURIFormat() accepts
virURIPtr that can be created without parsing it and we do that when we
format network storage paths for gluster for example. Even though
virStorageSourceParseBackingURI() uses virURIParse(), it throws that data
structure right away.
Since we want to format URIs as URIs and not absolute URIs or opaque
URIs (see RFC 3986), we can specify that with a special hack thanks to
commit beb7281055dbf0ed4d041022a67c6c5cfd126f25, by setting port to -1.
This fixes qemuxml2argvtest test where the disk-drive-network-gluster
case was failing.

libxl interface for vcpu pinning is changing in Xen 4.5. Basically,
libxl_set_vcpuaffinity() now wants one more parameter. That is
representative of 'VCPU soft affinity', which libvirt does not use.
To mark such change, the macro LIBXL_HAVE_VCPUINFO_SOFT_AFFINITY is
defined. Use it as a gate and, if present, re-#define the calls from
the old to the new interface, to avoid breaking the build.

The problem is, when registering remoteClientCloseFunc(), it's
conn->closeCallback which is ref'd. But in the function itself
it's conn->closeCallback->conn what is unref'd. This is causing
imbalance in reference counting. Moreover, there's no need for
the remote driver to increase/decrease conn refcount since it's
not used anywhere. It's just merely passed to client registered
callback. And for that purpose it's correctly ref'd in
virConnectRegisterCloseCallback() and then unref'd in
virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback().

At wireshark, they have this promise to change public dissector APIs
only with minor version number change. Which they did when releasing
the version of 1.12.
Firstly, they've changed tvb_memdup() in
a0c53ffaa1bb46d8c9db2ec739401aa411c9790e so now it takes four arguments
instead of three. The new argument is placed at the very beginning of
the list of arguments and basically says the scope where we'd like to
allocate the memory. According to the documentation NULL should be the
default value.
Then, the tcp_dissect_pdus() signature changed too. Well, the function
that actually dissects reassembled packets as tcp_dissect_pdus()
reorder TCP packets into one big chunk and then calls a user function
to dissect the PDU at once. The change is dated back to
8081cf1d90397cbbb4404f9720595e1537ed5e14.
Then, WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN was replaced with WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DEF in
5d87a8c46171f572568db5a47c093423482e342f.

virNetDevLinkDump() gets a message from netlink into "resp", then
calls nlmsg_parse() to fill the table "tb" with pointers into resp. It
then returns tb to its caller, but not before freeing the buffer at
resp. That means that all the callers of virNetDevLinkDump() are
examining memory that has already been freed. This can be verified by
filling the buffer at resp with garbage prior to freeing it (or, I
suppose, just running libvirtd under valgrind) then performing some
operation that calls virNetDevLinkDump().
The upstream commit log incorrectly states that the code has been like
this ever since virNetDevLinkDump() was written. In reality, the
problem was introduced with commit e95de74d, first in libvirt-1.0.5,
which was attempting to eliminate a typecast that caused compiler
warnings. It has only been pure luck (or maybe a lack of heavy load,
and/or maybe an allocation algorithm in malloc() that delays re-use of
just-freed memory) that has kept this from causing errors, for example
when configuring a PCI passthrough or macvtap passthrough network
interface.
The solution taken in this patch is the simplest - just return resp to
the caller along with tb, then have the caller free it after they are
finished using the data (pointers) in tb. I alternately could have
made a cleaner interface by creating a new struct that put tb and resp
together along with a vir*Free() function for it, but this function is
only used in a couple places, and I'm not sure there will be
additional new uses of virNetDevLinkDump(), so the value of adding a
new type, extra APIs, etc. is dubious.

Commit 28f8dfd (v1.0.0) introduced a security hole: in at least
the qemu implementation of virDomainGetXMLDesc, the use of the
flag VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE (which is usable from a read-only
connection) triggers the implicit use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
prior to calling qemuDomainFormatXML. However, the use of
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE is supposed to be restricted to read-write
clients only. This patch treats the migratable flag as requiring
the same permissions, rather than analyzing what might break if
migratable xml no longer includes secret information.
Fortunately, the information leak is low-risk: all that is gated
by the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag is the VNC connection password;
but VNC passwords are already weak (FIPS forbids their use, and
on a non-FIPS machine, anyone stupid enough to trust a max-8-byte
password sent in plaintext over the network deserves what they
get). SPICE offers better security than VNC, and all other
secrets are properly protected by use of virSecret associations
rather than direct output in domain XML.

Live definition was used to look up the disk index while persistent one

Unfortunately it's accessible via read-only connection, though it can
only crash libvirtd in the cases where the guest is hot-plugging disks
without reflecting those changes to the persistent definition. So
avoiding hotplug, or doing hotplug where persistent is always modified
alongside live definition, will avoid the out-of-bounds access.

We have the following matrix of possible arguments handled by the logic

format| (1) | (2)
-------+--------------------+----------------------
!format| (3) | (4)
-------+--------------------+----------------------
In cases 1 and 2 the user provided a format, in cases 3 and 4 not. The
user requests to use a pre-existing image in 1 and 3 and libvirt will
create a new image in 2 and 4.
The difference between cases 3 and 4 is that for 3 the format is probed
from the user-provided image, whereas in 4 we just use the existing disk
format.
The current code would treat cases 1,3 and 4 correctly but in case 2 the
format provided by the user would be ignored.

We publish libvirt-api.xml for others to use, and in fact, the
libvirt-python bindings use it to generate python constants that
correspond to our enum values. However, we had an off-by-one bug
that any enum that relied on C's rules for implicit initialization
of the first enum member to 0 got listed in the xml as having a
value of 1 (and all later members of the enum were equally
botched).
The fix is simple - since we add one to the previous value when
encountering an enum without an initializer, the previous value
must start at -1 so that the first enum member is assigned 0.
The python generator code has had the off-by-one ever since DV
first wrote it years ago, but most of our public enums were immune
because they had an explicit = 0 initializer. The only affected
enums are:
- virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType (such as
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4), since commit 987e31e
(libvirt v0.8.0)
- virDomainCoreDumpFormat (such as VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW),

Commit 2279d560 converted a boolean into a pointer with the intent of
transferring that pointer out of a temporary object into the caller's
data structure. The temporary structure meant that meta->encryption
was always NULL on entry, so we could get away with blindly allocating
the pointer when the header said so. But later, commit 8823272d
tweaked things to do backing chain detection in-place, rather than via
a temporary object; this has the net result that meta->encryption can
be non-NULL on entry. Not only did this turn the latent behavior into
a memory leak, it is also a behavior regression: blindly allocating a
new pointer wipes out what secrets we already knew about the chain,
making it impossible to restart the domain.
Of course, no one in their right mind should be relying on qcow2
encryption - it is fundamentally flawed. And sadly, the TCK tests
don't get run often enough, and this shows that our virstoragetest
does not exercise encrypted images at all. Otherwise, we could

Some of the tests for virTimeLocalOffsetFromUTC set an imaginary
timezone that attempts to force dyalight savings time active all the
time by setting a start date of 0/00:00:00 and end date of
366/23:59:59. Since the day is 0-based, 366 really means "day 367"
which will never occur - this was an attempt to eliminate problems
with DST not being active in some cases right around midnight on
January 1. Even though it didn't completely solve the problem, it
didn't seem to cause harm so it was left in the test timezones.
Although Linux glibc doesn't mind having a DST end date of 366,
FreeBSD refuses to use such timezones, so the tests fail. This patch
changes the 366 to 365.
This may or may not cause failure of the remaining DST tests around

For guests backed by gluster volumes (or other network storage) we don't
fill the backing chain (see qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain). This leaves
the "relPath" field of the top image NULL. This causes a crash in
virStorageFileChainLookup() when looking up a backing element for such a
disk.
Since I'm working on adding support for network storage and one of the
steps will make the "relPath" field optional let's use STREQ_NULLABLE
instead of STREQ in virStorageFileChainLookup() to avoid the problem.
The original version of virTimeLocalOffsetFromUTC() would fail for
certain times of the day if daylight savings time was active. This
could most easily be seen by uncommenting the TEST_LOCALOFFSET() cases
that include a DST setting.
After a lot of experimenting, I found that the way to solve it in
almost all test cases is to set tm_isdst = -1 in the struct tm prior
to calling mktime(). Once this is done, the correct offset is returned
for all test cases at all times except the two hours just after
00:00:00 Jan 1 UTC - during that time, any timezone that is *behind*
UTC, and that is supposed to always be in DST will not have DST
accounted for in its offset.
I believe that the code of virTimeLocalOffsetFromUTC() actually is
correct for all cases, but the problem still encountered is due to our
inability to come up with a TZ string that properly forces DST to
*always* be active. Since a modfication of the (currently fixed)
expected result data to account for this would necessarily use the
same functions that we're trying to test, I've instead just made the
test program conditionally bypass the problematic cases if the current
date is either December 31 or January 1. This way we get maximum
testing during 363 days of the year, but don't get false failures on
Dec 31 and Jan 1.

storage file is already open in a filedescriptor.

qemu 2.0 added the ability to commit the active layer, but slightly
differently than what libvirt had been anticipating in its
implementation of the virDomainBlockCommit call. As a result, if
you attempt to do a 'virsh blockcommit $dom vda', qemu gets into a
state where it is waiting on libvirt to end the job, while libvirt
is waiting on qemu to end the job, and the guest is effectively
hung with regards to further commands for that block device.
I have patches coming down the pipeline that will add full support
for blockcommit of the active layer when coupled with qemu 2.0 or
later; but they depend on Peter's improvements to block job handling
and form enough of a new feature that they are not ready for
inclusion in the 1.2.5 release. So for now, just reject the
attempt, rather than letting the user get stuck. This is no worse
than the behavior of qemu 1.7 rejecting the job.

QEMU ppce500 board uses the legacy -serial option.
Other PPC boards don't give any way to explicitly wire in a -chardev
except pseries which uses -device spapr-vty with -chardev.
Add test case for -serial option for ppce500

Clean up unix socket files for chardevs using mode='bind',
like we clean up the monitor socket.
They are created by QEMU on startup and not really useful
after shutting it down.
For a clock element as above, libvirt simply converts current system
time with localtime_r(), then starts qemu with a time string that
doesn't contain any timezone information. So, from qemu's point of
view, the -rtc string it gets for:
<clock offset='variable' basis='utc' adjustment='10800'/>
is identical to the -rtc string it gets for:
<clock offset='variable' basis='localtime' adjustment='0'/>
(assuming the host is in a timezone that is 10800 seconds ahead of
UTC, as is the case on the machine where this message is being
written).
Since the commandlines are identical, qemu will behave identically
after this point in either case.
There are two problems in the case of basis='localtime' though:
Problem 1) If the guest modifies its RTC, for example to add 20
seconds, the RTC_CHANGE event from qemu will then contain offset:20 in
both cases. But libvirt will have saved the original adjustment into
adjustment0, and will add that value onto the offset in the
event. This means that in the case of basis=;utc', it will properly
emit an event with offset:10820, but in the case of basis='localtime'
the event will contain offset:20, which is *not* the new offset of the
RTC from UTC (as the event it documented to provide).
Problem 2) If the guest is migrated to another host that is in a
different timezone, or if it is migrated or saved/restored after the
DST status has changed from what it was when the guest was originally
started, the newly restarted guest will have a different RTC (since it
will be based on the new localtime, which could have shifted by
several hours).
The solution to both of these problems is simple - rather than
maintaining the original adjustment value along with
"basis='localtime'" in the domain status, when the domain is started
we convert the adjustment offset to one relative to UTC, and set the
status to "basis='utc'". Thus, whatever the RTC offset was from UTC
when it was initially started, that offset will be maintained when
migrating across timezones and DST settings, and the RTC_CHANGE events
will automatically contain the proper offset (which should by
definition always be relative to UTC).
This fixes a problem that was implied but not openly stated in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964177
commit e31b5cf393 attempted to fix libvirt's
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_RTC_CHANGE, which is documentated to always
provide the new offset of the domain's real time clock from UTC. The
problem was that, in the case that qemu is provided with an "-rtc
base=x" where x is an absolute time (rather than "utc" or
"localtime"), the offset sent by qemu's RTC_CHANGE event is *not* the
new offset from UTC, but rather is the sum of all changes to the
domain's RTC since it was started with base=x.
So, despite what was said in commit e31b5cf393, if we assume that
the original value stored in "adjustment" was the offset from UTC at
the time the domain was started, we can always determine the current
offset from UTC by simply adding the most recent (i.e. current) offset
from qemu to that original adjustment.
This patch accomplishes that by storing the initial adjustment in the
domain's status as "adjustment0". Each time a new RTC_CHANGE event is
received from qemu, we simply add adjustment0 to the value sent by
qemu, store that as the new adjustment, and forward that value on to
any event handler.
This patch (*not* e31b5cf393, which should be reverted prior to
applying this patch) fixes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964177
(for the case where basis='utc'. It does not fix basis='localtime')
This reverts commit e31b5cf393.
This commit attempted to work around a bug in the offset value
reported by qemu's RTC_CHANGE event in the case that a variable base
date was given on the qemu commandline. The patch mixed up the math
involved in arriving at the corrected offset to report, and in the
process added an unnecessary private attribute to the clock
element. Since that element is private/internal and not used by anyone
else, it makes sense to simplify things by removing it.
Since there isn't a single libc API to get this value, this patch
supplies one which gets the value by grabbing current time, then
converting that into a struct tm with gmtime_r(), then back to a
time_t using mktime.
The returned value is the difference between UTC and localtime in
seconds. If localtime is ahead of UTC (east) the offset will be a
positive number, and if localtime is behind UTC (west) the offset will
be negative.
This function should be POSIX-compliant, and is threadsafe, but not
async signal safe. If it was ever necessary to know this value in a
child process, we could cache it with a one-time init function when
libvirtd starts, then just supply the cached value, but that
complexity isn't needed for current usage; that would also have the
problem that it might not be accurate after a local daylight savings
boundary.
(If it weren't for DST, we could simply replace this entire function
with "-timezone"; timezone contains the offset of the current timezone
(negated from what we want) but doesn't account for DST. And in spite
of being guaranteed by POSIX, it isn't available on older versions of
mingw.)
