api: require write permission for guest agent interaction
I noticed that we allow virDomainGetVcpusFlags even for read-only
connections, but that with a flag, it can require guest agent
interaction. It is feasible that a malicious guest could
intentionally abuse the replies it sends over the guest agent
connection to possibly trigger a bug in libvirt's JSON parser,
or withhold an answer so as to prevent the use of the agent
in a later command such as a shutdown request. Although we
don't know of any such exploits now (and therefore don't mind
posting this patch publicly without trying to get a CVE assigned),
it is better to err on the side of caution and explicitly require
full access to any domain where the API requires guest interaction
to operate correctly.
I audited all commands that are marked as conditionally using a
guest agent. Note that at least virDomainFSTrim is documented
as needing a guest agent, but that such use is unconditional
depending on the hypervisor (so the existing domain:fs_trim ACL
should be sufficient there, rather than also requirng domain:write).
But when designing future APIs, such as the plans for obtaining
a domain's IP addresses, we should copy the approach of this patch
in making interaction with the guest be specified via a flag, and
use that flag to also require stricter access checks.
