Fix for CVE-2012-4423. When generating RPC protocol messages, it's strictly needed to have a continuous line of numbers or RPC messages. However in case anyone tries backporting some functionality and will skip a number, there is a possibility to make the daemon segfault with newer virsh (version of the library, rpc call, etc.) even unintentionally. The problem is that the skipped numbers will get func filled with NULLs, but there is no check whether these are set before the daemon tries to run them. This patch very simply enhances one check and fixes that.
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.
