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.

Eric Blake 51afa9a255 event: filter global events by domain:getattr ACL [CVE-2014-0028]
Ever since ACL filtering was added in commit 7639736 (v1.1.1), a
user could still use event registration to obtain access to a
domain that they could not normally access via virDomainLookup*
or virConnectListAllDomains and friends.  We already have the
framework in the RPC generator for creating the filter, and
previous cleanup patches got us to the point that we can now
wire the filter through the entire object event stack.

Furthermore, whether or not domain:getattr is honored, use of
global events is a form of obtaining a list of networks, which
is covered by connect:search_domains added in a93cd08 (v1.1.0).
Ideally, we'd have a way to enforce connect:search_domains when
doing global registrations while omitting that check on a
per-domain registration.  But this patch just unconditionally
requires connect:search_domains, even when no list could be
obtained, based on the following observations:
1. Administrators are unlikely to grant domain:getattr for one
or all domains while still denying connect:search_domains - a
user that is able to manage domains will want to be able to
manage them efficiently, but efficient management includes being
able to list the domains they can access.  The idea of denying
connect:search_domains while still granting access to individual
domains is therefore not adding any real security, but just
serves as a layer of obscurity to annoy the end user.
2. In the current implementation, domain events are filtered
on the client; the server has no idea if a domain filter was
requested, and must therefore assume that all domain event
requests are global.  Even if we fix the RPC protocol to
allow for server-side filtering for newer client/server combos,
making the connect:serach_domains ACL check conditional on
whether the domain argument was NULL won't benefit older clients.
Therefore, we choose to document that connect:search_domains
is a pre-requisite to any domain event management.

Network events need the same treatment, with the obvious
change of using connect:search_networks and network:getattr.

         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.
