[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/2] openvz: avoid potential buffer overflow

[Matthias Bolte]

2010/12/7 Eric Blake <eblake at redhat.com>:
> * src/openvz/openvz_conf.c (openvzLoadDomains): Replace unsafe
> sscanf with safe direct parsing.
> (openvzGetVEID): Avoid lost integer overflow detection.
> (openvzAssignUUIDs): Likewise, and detect readdir failure.
> ---

> v2: new patch; plugs a potential security hole, since
> *scanf("%s",fixed_width_buffer) is exploitable, but the
> exploit could only happen if /usr/sbin/vzlist is compromised.
