Detected by Coverity. Both are instances of bad things happening if pipe2 fails; the virNetClientNew failure could free garbage, and virNetSocketNewConnectCommand could close random fds. Note: POSIX doesn't guarantee the contents of fd[0] and fd[1] after pipe failure: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=467 We may need to introduce a virPipe2 wrapper that guarantees that on pipe failure, the fds are explicitly set to -1, rather than our current state of assuming the fds are unchanged from their value prior to the failed pipe call. * src/rpc/virnetclient.c (virNetClientNew): Initialize variable. * src/rpc/virnetsocket.c (virNetSocketNewConnectCommand): Likewise.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
