Bug description:
lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release: 24.04
lxc-start --version: 5.0.3
Issue: lxc-execute segfaults when using a shared host rootfs due to a
NULL pointer deference.
In lxc/src/lxc/conf.c - lines 339 - 344
The call to lxc_storage_prepare detects no rootfs path and returns
without calling storage_init
In lxc/src/lxc/conf.c - lines 293 - 310
leaving rootfs->storage null.
Then dereferencing rootfs->storage->type causes a segfault.
Steps to reproduce:
1. use lxc.conf:
lxc.uts.name=lxc-test-1
lxc.net.0.type = empty
lxc.console.path = none
lxc.tty.max = 1
lxc.pty.max = 128
lxc.mount.auto = proc:rw sys cgroup
lxc.autodev = 1
2. Run:
$ sudo lxc-execute -n lxc-test-1 -f lxc.conf -l TRACE -- ls /dev
Segmentation fault
I've attached a patch as a possible fix. Running the same example above with
the patch applied runs without crashing.
