The use of <> is a security issue for RPC parameters, since a malicious client can set a huge array length causing arbitrary memory allocation in the daemon. It is also a robustness issue for RPC return values, because if the stream is corrupted, it can cause the client to also allocate arbitrary memory. Use a syntax-check rule to prohibit any use of <> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@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.
