Daniel P. Berrangé a4947e8f63 nwfilter: fix crash when counting number of network filters
The virNWFilterObjListNumOfNWFilters method iterates over the
driver->nwfilters, accessing virNWFilterObj instances. As such
it needs to be protected against concurrent modification of
the driver->nwfilters object.

This API allows unprivileged users to connect, so users with
read-only access to libvirt can cause a denial of service
crash if they are able to race with a call of virNWFilterUndefine.
Since network filters are usually statically defined, this is
considered a low severity problem.

This is assigned CVE-2022-0897.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

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.
