Since the virSecretObjListAdd technically consumes @def on success, the secretDefineXML should set @def = NULL immediately and process the remaining calls using a new @objDef variable. We can use use VIR_STEAL_PTR since we know the Add function just stores @def in obj->def. Because we steal @def into @objDef, if we jump to restore_backup: and @backup is set, then we need to ensure the @def would be free'd properly, so we'll steal it back from @objDef. For the other condition this fixes a double free of @def if the code had jumped to @backup == NULL thus calling virSecretObjListRemove without setting @def = NULL. In this case, the subsequent call to DefFree would succeed and free @def; however, the call to EndAPI would also call DefFree because the Unref done would be the last one for the @obj meaning the obj->def would be used to call DefFree, but it's already been free'd because @def wasn't managed right within this error path.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
