qemu restore: don't let corrupt input provoke unwarranted OOM
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainRestore): A corrupt save file (in particular, a too-large header.xml_len value) would cause an unwarranted out-of-memory error. Do not trust the just-read header.xml_len. Instead, merely use that as a hint, and read/allocate up to that number of bytes from the file. Also verify that header.xml_len is positive; if it were negative, passing it to virFileReadLimFD could cause trouble.
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.

Description

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
