[PATCH] virsh: avoid heap corruption leading to virsh abort

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Investigating a build problem reported by Laine,
I was surprised to see "make check" fail on F17 due to a
glibc invalid free abort.  Ok to push to master?

Subject: [PATCH] virsh: avoid heap corruption leading to virsh abort

* tools/virsh.c (vshParseSnapshotDiskspec): Fix off-by-3 memmove
that would corrupt heap when parsing escaped --diskspec comma.
Bug introduced via commit v0.9.4-260-g35d52b5.
