From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>
The 'stats' variable was not initialized to NULL, so if some
early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump
to the 'cleanup' label and VIR_FREE an uninitialized pointer.
This is a security flaw, since the API can be called from a
readonly connection which can trigger the validation checks.
This was introduced in release v0.9.1 onwards by
commit 158ba8730e44b7dd07a21ab90499996c5dec080a

Approved on the security list, and pushing on Daniel's behalf.
I'm now working on backporting this to the various v*-maint branches.
