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.

Jiri Denemark 561b03f916 qemu: Do not access stale data in virDomainBlockStats
CVE-2013-6458
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043069

When virDomainDetachDeviceFlags is called concurrently to
virDomainBlockStats: libvirtd may crash because qemuDomainBlockStats
finds a disk in vm->def before getting a job on a domain and uses the
disk pointer after getting the job. However, the domain in unlocked
while waiting on a job condition and thus data behind the disk pointer
may disappear. This happens when thread 1 runs
virDomainDetachDeviceFlags and enters monitor to actually remove the
disk. Then another thread starts running virDomainBlockStats, finds the
disk in vm->def, and while it's waiting on the job condition (owned by
the first thread), the first thread finishes the disk removal. When the
second thread gets the job, the memory pointed to be the disk pointer is
already gone.

That said, every API that is going to begin a job should do that before
fetching data from vm->def.

         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.
