Late but comment #2 should have had [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/CloudArchive
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * bad free from libvirt python, getAllDomainStats is unusable + + * mostly python based stat apps like Ceilometer would be affected + + * fix is an upstream backport. + + [Test Case] + + * Execute the test program I wrote in comment #2 + + [Regression Potential] + + * it seems that so far any user of getAllDomainStats would have + segfaulted. What comes to my mind are solutions that worked before that + happened and ignored the latter segfault. By a change in behavior it + might now behave different. Still I think that is of very low risk. + + [Other Info] + + * n/a + + --- + The following bug is present in the curent version of libvirt-python in Xenial (1.3.1): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1326839 This bug has been resolved in 1.3.4 by the following commit: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt- python/commit/e9c4e2abffef007a28112ebb40a9586b0128f10b This bug is e.g. triggered when using OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer) and configuring it to collect "cpu" metering data. This leads to the segmentation fault mentioned in the linked bug report. The version of libvirt-python in Xenial should be updated to >= 1.3.4 or at least the linked fix should be backported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731482 Title: outdated version of libvirt-python 1.3.1 crashes on call to getAllDomainStats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt-python/+bug/1731482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
