commit 6039a2cb49c8af4c68460d2faf365a7e1c686c7b Author: Jiri Denemark Date: Mon Jul 30 12:14:54 2012 +0200 daemon: Fix crash in virTypedParameterArrayClear Daemon uses the following pattern when dispatching APIs with typed parameters: VIR_ALLOC_N(params, nparams); virDomain*(dom, params, &nparams, flags); virTypedParameterArrayClear(params, nparams); In case nparams was originally set to 0, virDomain* API would fill it with the number of typed parameters it can provide and we would use this number (rather than zero) to clear params. Because VIR_ALLOC* returns non-NULL pointer even if size is 0, the code would end up walking through random memory. If we were lucky enough and the memory contained 7 (VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING) at the right place, we would try to free a random pointer and crash. Let's make sure params stays NULL when nparams is 0.
