Don't crash if a connection closes early
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047577 When a client closes its connection to libvirtd early during virConnectOpen, more specifically just after making REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE call to check if VIR_DRV_FEATURE_PROGRAM_KEEPALIVE is supported without even waiting for the result, libvirtd may crash due to a race in keep-alive initialization. Once receiving the REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE call, the daemon's event loop delegates it to a worker thread. In case the event loop detects EOF on the connection and calls virNetServerClientClose before the worker thread starts to handle REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE call, client->keepalive will be disposed by the time virNetServerClientStartKeepAlive gets called from remoteDispatchConnectSupportsFeature. Because the flow is common for both authenticated and read-only connections, even unprivileged clients may cause the daemon to crash. To avoid the crash, virNetServerClientStartKeepAlive needs to check if the connection is still open before starting keep-alive protocol. Every libvirt release since 0.9.8 is affected by this bug.

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.

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.
