As pointed on CVE-2011-1146, some API forgot to check the read-only
status of the connection for entry point which modify the state
of the system or may lead to a remote execution using user data.
The entry points concerned are:
- virConnectDomainXMLToNative
- virNodeDeviceDettach
- virNodeDeviceReAttach
- virNodeDeviceReset
- virDomainRevertToSnapshot
- virDomainSnapshotDelete
* src/libvirt.c: fix the above set of entry points to error on read-only
connections
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.
