As promised, a patch to protect the 80-character "device id" buffer from overflow by the unbounded "device=" XML attribute. Before, a large "device" attribute gave a stack overflow error; now it merely results in an obscure (but non-fatal) xend error like so:


libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'")

(the long string of "x"es was my way of overflowing the buffer).

Please ACK...

+1

Rich.


If someone could commit this please I would greatly appreciate it...

thanks,
