CVE-2013-6456: Avoid unsafe use of /proc/$PID/root in LXC shutdown/reboot code
Use helper virProcessRunInMountNamespace in lxcDomainShutdownFlags and lxcDomainReboot. Otherwise, a malicious guest could use symlinks to force the host to manipulate the wrong file in the host's namespace. Idea by Dan Berrange, based on an initial report by Reco <recoverym4n@gmail.com> at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732394 Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit aebbcdd33c8c18891f0bdbbf8924599a28152c9c) Conflicts: src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: OOM error reporting changes src/util/virinitctl.c: OOM error reporting changes

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
