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.

Martin Kletzander 5eef74320b fixed SegFault in virauth
No check for conn->uri being NULL in virAuthGetConfigFilePath (valid
state) made the client segfault. This happens for example with these
settings:
 - no virtualbox driver installed (modifies conn->uri)
 - no default URI set (VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI="",
   LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="", uri_default="")
 - auth_sock_rw="sasl"
 - virsh run as root

That are unfortunately the settings with fresh Fedora 17 installation
with VDSM.

The check ought to be enough as conn->uri being NULL is valid in later
code and is handled properly.

         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.
