Subject: main loop: Big hammer to fix logfile disk DoS in Xen setups
X-Git-Tag: xen-4.5.5^0
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=28c21388c2a32259cff37fc578684f994dca8c9f;p=qemu-xen-traditional.git

main loop: Big hammer to fix logfile disk DoS in Xen setups

Each time round the main loop, we now fstat stderr.  If it is too big,
we dup2 /dev/null onto it.  This is not a very pretty patch but it is
very simple, easy to see that it's correct, and has a low risk of
collateral damage.

There is no limit by default but can be adjusted by setting a new
environment variable.

This is part of CVE-2014-3672.

Set the default to 0 so that it won't affect non-xen installation. The
limit will be set by Xen toolstack.
