Fix crash in remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats (CVE-2013-4296)
The 'stats' variable was not initialized to NULL, so if some early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump to the 'cleanup' label and VIR_FREE an uninitialized pointer. This is a security flaw, since the API can be called from a readonly connection which can trigger the validation checks. This was introduced in release v0.9.1 onwards by commit 158ba8730e44b7dd07a21ab90499996c5dec080a Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Wed Apr 13 16:21:35 2011 +0100 Merge all returns paths from dispatcher into single path Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
