Commit 4f25146 (v1.2.8) managed to silence Coverity, but at the cost of a memory leak detected by valgrind: ==24129== 40 bytes in 5 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 355 of 637 ==24129== at 0x4A08B1C: realloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==24129== by 0x5084B8E: virReallocN (viralloc.c:245) ==24129== by 0x514D5AA: virDomainObjListExport (domain_conf.c:22200) ==24129== by 0x201227DB: qemuConnectListAllDomains (qemu_driver.c:18042) ==24129== by 0x51CC1B6: virConnectListAllDomains (libvirt-domain.c:6797) ==24129== by 0x14173D: remoteDispatchConnectListAllDomains (remote.c:1580) ==24129== by 0x121BE1: remoteDispatchConnectListAllDomainsHelper (remote_dispatch.h:1072) In short, every time a client calls a ListAll variant and asks for the resulting list, but there are 0 elements to return, we end up leaking the 1-entry array that holds the NULL terminator. What's worse, a read-only client can access these functions in a tight loop to cause libvirtd to eventually run out of memory; and this can be considered a denial of service attack against more privileged clients. Thankfully, the leak is so small (8 bytes per call) that you would already have some other denial of service with any guest calling the API that frequently, so an out-of-memory crash is unlikely enough that this did not warrant a CVE. * daemon/remote.c (remoteDispatchConnectListAllDomains) (remoteDispatchDomainListAllSnapshots) (remoteDispatchDomainSnapshotListAllChildren) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllStoragePools) (remoteDispatchStoragePoolListAllVolumes) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllNetworks) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllInterfaces) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllNodeDevices) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllNWFilters) (remoteDispatchConnectListAllSecrets) (remoteDispatchNetworkGetDHCPLeases): Plug leak.

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.
