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.

When there are two concurrent threads, we may dereference a NULL pointer, even though it has been checked before: 1. Thread1: starts executing qemuDomainBlockStatsFlags() with nparams != 0. It finds given disk and successfully pass check for disk->info.alias not being NULL. 2. Thread2: starts executing qemuDomainDetachDeviceFlags() on the very same disk as Thread1 is working on. 3. Thread1: gets to qemuDomainObjBeginJob() where it sets a job on a domain. 4. Thread2: also tries to set a job. However, we are not guaranteed which thread wins. So assume it's Thread2 who can continue. 5. Thread2: does the actual detach and frees disk->info.alias 6. Thread2: quits the job 7. Thread1: now successfully acquires the job, and accesses a NULL pointer. |

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.
