# Commit 531d3bea5e9357357eaf6d40f5784a1b4c29b910 # Date 2024-05-11 00:13:43 +0100 # Author Demi Marie Obenour # Committer Andrew Cooper libxl: Fix handling XenStore errors in device creation If xenstored runs out of memory it is possible for it to fail operations that should succeed. libxl wasn't robust against this, and could fail to ensure that the TTY path of a non-initial console was created and read-only for guests. This doesn't qualify for an XSA because guests should not be able to run xenstored out of memory, but it still needs to be fixed. Add the missing error checks to ensure that all errors are properly handled and that at no point can a guest make the TTY path of its frontend directory writable.
