Since commit 297c99a5 an invalid source definition XML of a character
device that is used as backend for RNG devices, smartcards and redirdevs
causes crash of the daemon when parsing such a definition.
The device types mentioned above are not a part of a regular character
device but are backends for other types. Thus when parsing such device
NULL is passed as the argument @chr_def. Later when checking the
validity of the definition @chr_def was dereferenced when parsing a UNIX
socket backend with missing path of the socket and crashed the daemon.
Sample offending configuration:
<devices>
...
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='egd' type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' service='1024'/>
</backend>
</rng>
</devices>

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.
