commit 8294aa0c1750dcb49d6345cd9bd97bf421580d8b Author: Daniel P. Berrange Date: Fri Sep 27 15:46:07 2013 +0100 Fix crash in libvirtd when events are registered & ACLs active When a client disconnects from libvirtd, all event callbacks must be removed. This involves running the public API virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny This code does not run in normal API dispatch context, so no identity was set. The result was that the access control drivers denied the attempt to deregister callbacks. The callbacks thus continued to trigger after the client was free'd causing fairly predictable use of free memory & a crash. This can be triggered by any client with readonly access when the ACL drivers are active. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
