[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#463686: libvirtd segfault when starting with a kvm machine defined

[Gilles Mocellin]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.4.0-2
Severity: critical

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After I have create a kvm virtual machine, libvirtd does not want to start 
anymore :

gilles at guitare:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
Restarting libvirt management 
daemon: /usr/sbin/libvirtd/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin: line 89: 23111 Erreur de 
segmentation  
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec 
$DAEMON -- $libvirtd_opts

A strace shows that it's while reading the xml file of the VM :

gilles at guitare:~$ sudo strace -f libvirtd
...
open("/etc/libvirt/qemu/vmfedora.xml", O_RDONLY) = 6
fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=1007, ...}) = 0
fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=1007, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0x2af9d2bc2000
read(6, "<domain type=\'kvm\'>\n  <name>vmfe"..., 4096) = 1007
close(6)                                = 0
munmap(0x2af9d2bc2000, 4096)            = 0
