Peter Krempa 9a47442366 storage: Fix returning of locked objects from 'virStoragePoolObjListSearch' CVE-2023-3750 'virStoragePoolObjListSearch' explicitly documents that it's returning a pointer to a locked and ref'd pool that maches the lookup function. This was not the case as in commit `0c4b391e2a` (released in libvirt-8.3.0) the code was accidentally converted to use 'VIR_LOCK_GUARD' which auto-unlocked it when leaving the scope, even when the code was originally "leaking" the lock. Revert the corresponding conversion and add a comment that this function is intentionally leaking a locked object. Fixes: `0c4b391e2a` Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2221851 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com>		2023-07-20 15:24:02 +02:00

Libvirt API for virtualization

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
