>From df1af0bbe21e906c11123e66ec470b60e55c9e44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Jones Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 15:47:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] daemon: When running external commands, open stdin as /dev/null Previously when we ran external commands from the daemon, stdin (ie. fd 0) was closed. This caused a problem when running the external hexdump command which seems to break if stdin is closed. This patch opens stdin on /dev/null. --- daemon/guestfsd.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/guestfsd.c b/daemon/guestfsd.c index 8c39c39..649a630 100644 --- a/daemon/guestfsd.c +++ b/daemon/guestfsd.c @@ -654,6 +654,7 @@ commandrv (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, char const* const *argv) if (pid == 0) { /* Child process. */ close (0); + open ("/dev/null", O_RDONLY); /* Set stdin to /dev/null (ignore failure) */ close (so_fd[0]); close (se_fd[0]); dup2 (so_fd[1], 1); -- 1.6.5.2
