[PATCH] lxc: Fix segfault when lxc.network does not start with 'type'
Posted by Julio Faracco 4 years, 2 months ago
To configure network settings using config file, legacy LXC settings
require starting them with 'lxc.network.type' entry. If someone
accidentally starts with 'lxc.network.name', libvirt will crash with
segfault. This patch checks if this case is happening.

Sample invalid settings:
lxc.network.link = eth0
lxc.network.type = phys
lxc.network.name = eth1
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.122.2/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 192.168.122.1

Now, libvirt only see error without segmentation fault.

This doesn't feel right. The same variable should be used in both lines. 
I mean either go with:

   if (ndata > 0)
     return networks->parseData[ndata - 1];

or:

   if (networks->ndata > 0)
     return networks->parseData[networks->ndata - 1];


The first one looks better to me. I can fix it before pushing, if you agree.

Hi Michal,

The first one looks cleaner.
You can go ahead.
Thanks again!
