Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

So I can observe this crasher that with freshly started daemon (and virtlogd enabled) I am trying to startup a domain that immediately dies (because it's said to use huge pages but I haven't allocated a single one in the pool). Hardly reproducible with -O0 or under valgrind. But I just got lucky: ==20469== Invalid write of size 8 ==20469== at 0x4C2E99B: memcpy@GLIBC_2.2.5 (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==20469== by 0x217EDD07: qemuProcessReadLog (qemu_process.c:1670) ==20469== by 0x217EDE1D: qemuProcessReportLogError (qemu_process.c:1696) ==20469== by 0x217EE8C1: qemuProcessWaitForMonitor (qemu_process.c:1957) ==20469== by 0x217F6636: qemuProcessLaunch (qemu_process.c:4955) ==20469== by 0x217F71A4: qemuProcessStart (qemu_process.c:5152) ==20469== by 0x21846582: qemuDomainObjStart (qemu_driver.c:7396) ==20469== by 0x218467DE: qemuDomainCreateWithFlags (qemu_driver.c:7450) ==20469== by 0x21846845: qemuDomainCreate (qemu_driver.c:7468) ==20469== by 0x5611CD0: virDomainCreate (libvirt-domain.c:6753) ==20469== by 0x125D9A: remoteDispatchDomainCreate (remote_dispatch.h:3613) ==20469== by 0x125CB7: remoteDispatchDomainCreateHelper (remote_dispatch.h:3589) ==20469== Address 0x27a52ad0 is 0 bytes after a block of size 5,584 alloc'd ==20469== at 0x4C29F80: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==20469== by 0x9B8D1DB: xdr_string (in /lib64/libc-2.21.so) ==20469== by 0x563B39C: xdr_virLogManagerProtocolNonNullString (log_protocol.c:24) ==20469== by 0x563B6B7: xdr_virLogManagerProtocolDomainReadLogFileRet (log_protocol.c:123) ==20469== by 0x164B34: virNetMessageDecodePayload (virnetmessage.c:407) ==20469== by 0x5682360: virNetClientProgramCall (virnetclientprogram.c:379) ==20469== by 0x563B30E: virLogManagerDomainReadLogFile (log_manager.c:272) ==20469== by 0x217CD613: qemuDomainLogContextRead (qemu_domain.c:2485) ==20469== by 0x217EDC76: qemuProcessReadLog (qemu_process.c:1660) ==20469== by 0x217EDE1D: qemuProcessReportLogError (qemu_process.c:1696) ==20469== by 0x217EE8C1: qemuProcessWaitForMonitor (qemu_process.c:1957) ==20469== by 0x217F6636: qemuProcessLaunch (qemu_process.c:4955) This points to memmove() in qemuProcessReadLog(). Imagine we just read the following string from qemu: "abc\n2016-01-18T09:40:44.022744Z qemu-system-x86_64: Error\n" After the first pass of the while() loop in the qemuProcessReadLog() (in which we have taken the false branch in the if) @buf still points to the beginning of the string, @filter_next points to the beginning of the second line. So we start second iteration because there is yet another newline character at the end. In this iteration @eol points to it actually. Now, the control gets inside true branch of if(). Just to remind you: got = 58 filter_next = buf + 5, eol = buf + 58. Therefore skip = 54 which is correct. The message we want to skip is 54 bytes long. However: memmove(filter_next, eol + 1, (got - skip) +1); which is memmove(filter_next, eol + 1, 5) is obviously wrong as there is only one byte we can access, not 5!

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.
