https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434882 Imagine the following scenario: 1) virsh net-start default 2) virsh start myFavouriteDomain 3) virsh net-destroy default 4) virsh destroy myFavouriteDomain (assuming myFavouriteDomain has an interface from default network) Regardless of how unlikely this scenario looks like, we should not crash. The problem is, on net-destroy in networkShutdownNetworkVirtual() the virMacMap module is unrefed, but the stale pointer is kept around. Thus when the domain destroy procedure comes in, networkReleaseActualDevice() and subsequently networkMacMgrDel() is called. This function sees the stale pointer and starts calling the virMacMap module APIs which work over freed memory. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
