Subject: [PATCH 13/30] tools/xenstored: domain_entry_fix(): Handle conflicting
transaction
The function domain_entry_fix() will be initially called to check if the
quota is correct before attempt to commit any nodes. So it would be
possible that accounting is temporarily negative. This is the case
in the following sequence:
1) Create 50 nodes
2) Start two transactions
3) Delete all the nodes in each transaction
4) Commit the two transactions
Because the first transaction will have succeed and updated the
accounting, there is no guarantee that 'd->nbentry + num' will still
be above 0. So the assert() would be triggered.
The assert() was introduced in dbef1f748289 ("tools/xenstore: simplify
and fix per domain node accounting") with the assumption that the
value can't be negative. As this is not true revert to the original
check but restricted to the path where we don't update. Take the
opportunity to explain the rationale behind the check.
This CVE-2023-34323 / XSA-440.
Fixes: dbef1f748289 ("tools/xenstore: simplify and fix per domain node accounting")
