CVE-2013-0242 in glibc's regex() can cause a DoS in any daemon that runs a regex search on user input while in a multibyte locale. I'm not sure how hard it would be to trigger such a setup for libvirtd, but rather than risk things, we can avoid the issue: gnulib has worked around the problem, and by updating to the latest gnulib, we can avoid the bug even on platforms where glibc has yet to be patched. * .gnulib: Update to latest, for various fixes, including regex. * bootstrap: Resync from upstream.
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.
