Our fixes for CVE-2013-4400 were so effective at "fixing" bugs in virt-login-shell that we ended up fixing it into a useless do-nothing program. Commit3e2f27e1picked the name LIBVIRT_SETUID_RPC_CLIENT for the witness macro when we are doing secure compilation. But commit9cd6a57dchecked whether the name IN_VIRT_LOGIN_SHELL, from an earlier version of the patch series, was defined; with the net result that virt-login-shell invariably detected that it was setuid and failed virInitialize. Commitb7fcc799closed all fds larger than stderr, but in the wrong place. Looking at the larger context, we mistakenly did the close in between obtaining the set of namespace fds, then actually using those fds to switch namespace, which means that virt-login-shell will ALWAYS fail. This is the minimal patch to fix the regressions, although further patches are also worth having to clean up poor semantics of the resulting program (for example, it is rude to not pass on the exit status of the wrapped program back to the invoking shell). * tools/virt-login-shell.c (main): Don't close fds until after namespace swap. * src/libvirt.c (virGlobalInit): Use correct macro.

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.
