AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

The remoteClientFreeFunc function in daemon/remote.c in libvirt before 1.1.3, when ACLs are used, does not set an identity, which causes event handler removal to be denied and remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and crash) by registering an event handler and then closing the connection.

The 'stats' variable in remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats function was not initialized to NULL, so if some early validation of the RPC call fails, it is possible to jump to the 'cleanup' label and VIRFREE an uninitialized pointer.

A remote user able to issue commands to libvirt daemon could use this flaw to crash libvirtd.
