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.

Peter Krempa f104a2a6b3 rpc: Fix crash on error paths of message dispatching
This patch resolves CVE-2013-0170:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893450

When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
but wasn't removed from the message queue.

After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
uninitialized pointer.

This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.

* rpc/virnetserverclient.c: virNetServerClientDispatchRead:
    - avoid use after free of RPC messages

         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.
