commit e7f400a110e2e3673b96518170bfea0855dd82c0 Author: Daniel P. Berrange Date: Tue Sep 3 16:52:06 2013 +0100 Fix crash in remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats (CVE-2013-4296) The 'stats' variable was not initialized to NULL, so if some early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump to the 'cleanup' label and VIR_FREE an uninitialized pointer. This is a security flaw, since the API can be called from a readonly connection which can trigger the validation checks. This was introduced in release v0.9.1 onwards by commit 158ba8730e44b7dd07a21ab90499996c5dec080a Author: Daniel P.
