Our seclabel parsing was repeatedly assigning malloc'd data into a temporary variable, without first freeing the previous use. Among other leaks flagged by valgrind: ==9312== 8 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 88 of 821 ==9312== at 0x4A0645D: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==9312== by 0x8C40369: strdup (strdup.c:42) ==9312== by 0x50EA799: virStrdup (virstring.c:676) ==9312== by 0x50FAEB9: virXPathString (virxml.c:90) ==9312== by 0x50FAF1E: virXPathStringLimit (virxml.c:112) ==9312== by 0x510F516: virSecurityLabelDefParseXML (domain_conf.c:4571) ==9312== by 0x510FB20: virSecurityLabelDefsParseXML (domain_conf.c:4720) While it was multiple problems, it looks like commit da78351 (thankfully unreleased) was to blame for all of them. * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virSecurityLabelDefParseXML): Plug leaks detected by valgrind.

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
