+Subject: Add missing checks for read only connections
+X-Git-Url: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=71753cb7f7a16ff800381c0b5ee4e99eea92fed3;hp=13c00dde3171b3a38d23cceb3f9151cb6cac3dad
+
+Add missing checks for read only connections
+
+As pointed on CVE-2011-1146, some API forgot to check the read-only
+status of the connection for entry point which modify the state
+of the system or may lead to a remote execution using user data.
+The entry points concerned are:
+  - virConnectDomainXMLToNative
+  - virNodeDeviceDettach
+  - virNodeDeviceReAttach
+  - virNodeDeviceReset
+  - virDomainRevertToSnapshot
+  - virDomainSnapshotDelete
+
+* src/libvirt.c: fix the above set of entry points to error on read-only
+                 connections
+
+Rebased to 0.8.2, mostly changed the call of the error routines
