The virSocketAddrMask method did not initialize all fields in the sockaddr_in6 struct. In paticular the 'sin6_scope_id' field could contain random garbage, which would in turn affect the result of any later virSocketAddrFormat calls. This led to ip6tables rules in the FORWARD chain which matched on random garbage sin6_scope_id. Fortunately these were ACCEPT rules, so the impact was merely that desired traffic was blocked, rather than undesired traffic allowed. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
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.
