Subject: [PATCH] Don't crash if a connection closes early

CVE-2014-1447

When a client closes its connection to libvirtd early during
virConnectOpen, more specifically just after making
REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE call to check if
VIR_DRV_FEATURE_PROGRAM_KEEPALIVE is supported without even waiting for
the result, libvirtd may crash due to a race in keep-alive
initialization. Once receiving the REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE
call, the daemon's event loop delegates it to a worker thread. In case
the event loop detects EOF on the connection and calls
virNetServerClientClose before the worker thread starts to handle
REMOTE_PROC_CONNECT_SUPPORTS_FEATURE call, client->keepalive will be
disposed by the time virNetServerClientStartKeepAlive gets called from
remoteDispatchConnectSupportsFeature. Because the flow is common for
both authenticated and read-only connections, even unprivileged clients
may cause the daemon to crash.

To avoid the crash, virNetServerClientStartKeepAlive needs to check if
the connection is still open before starting keep-alive protocol.

Every libvirt release since 0.9.8 is affected by this bug.
