commit 795527548fea79902ea4ce32747e069944cf3e61 Author: Peter Krempa Date: Thu Sep 26 08:12:39 2013 +0200 conf: Don't crash on invalid chardev source definition of RNGs and other Since commit 297c99a5 an invalid source definition XML of a character device that is used as backend for RNG devices, smartcards and redirdevs causes crash of the daemon when parsing such a definition. The device types mentioned above are not a part of a regular character device but are backends for other types. Thus when parsing such device NULL is passed as the argument @chr_def. Later when checking the validity of the definition @chr_def was dereferenced when parsing a UNIX socket backend with missing path of the socket and crashed the daemon. Sample offending configuration: ...
