Separate the guest created QEMU monitor socket location from the libvirtd create XML / PID data files, to improve security separation when running QEMU non-root * libvirt.spec.in: Leave /var/run/libvirt/qemu as root:root * src/qemu_conf.h: Add libDir and cacheDir directory paths * src/qemu_driver.c: Move QEMU monitor socket from stateDir to libDir to avoid making security critical directory accessible to QEMU guests. * src/util.c: Delay running hook till after damonizing to ensure pidfile is still written before changing UID/GID
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.
