Fix typo in identity code which is pre-requisite for CVE-2013-4311
The fix for CVE-2013-4311 had a pre-requisite enhancement to the identity code commit db7a5688c05f3fd60d9d2b74c72427eb9ee9c176 Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Thu Aug 22 16:00:01 2013 +0100 Also store user & group ID values in virIdentity This had a typo which caused the group ID to overwrite the user ID string. This meant any checks using this would have the wrong ID value. This only affected the ACL code, not the initial polkit auth. It also leaked memory. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit e4697b92abaad16e8e6b41a1e55be9b084d48d5a)
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.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
