tools: hv: Use CLOEXEC when opening kvp_pool files

2013-01-19T00:03:34+00:00

Use CLOEXEC flag when opening kvp_pool_x files to prevent file
descriptor leakage. Not using it was causing a problem when
SELinux was enabled.

tools/hv: Fix permissions of created directory and files

2013-01-17T18:41:46+00:00

It's silly to create directories without execute permission, or to
give permissions to 'other' but not the group-owner.

Write the permissions in octal and 'ls -l' format since these are much
easier to read than the named macros.

tools/hv: Fix /var subdirectory

2013-01-17T18:41:46+00:00

Initial patch by Ben Hutchings 

We will install this in /usr, so it must use /var/lib for its state.
Only programs installed under /opt should use /var/opt.

tools/hv: Fix string types

2012-11-15T23:39:59+00:00

Initial patch by Ben Hutchings 

Standard C strings are arrays of char, not __u8 (unsigned char).
Declare variables and parameters accordingly, and add the necessary
casts.

tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS

2012-11-15T23:38:34+00:00

The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed
a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user.
Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored
and a warning is printed into the syslog.

Tools: hv: Don't return loopback addresses

2012-10-30T18:11:24+00:00

Don't return loopback addresses and further don't terminate
the IP address strings with a semicolon. This is the current
behavior of Windows guests.

tools: hv: Return the full kernel version

2012-10-30T18:11:24+00:00

Currently, we are returning the same string for both OSBuildNumber
and OSVersion keys. Return the full uts string for the OSBuild
key since Windows does not impose any restrictions on this.

tools/hv: Parse /etc/os-release

2012-09-10T23:43:32+00:00

There is a new convention, used by systemd and supported by most
distributions, to put basic OS release information in /etc/os-release.
Added some additional error checking on strdup()
