RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

libvirtd crash log
Description of problem:
after create disk snapshot for shutdown guest and redefine it, It may cause libvirtd crash
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.10.2-13.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.346.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-348.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare a shutdown guest
2. create snapshot with
# virsh snapshot-create tt sn-tck1.xml --reuse-external --quiesce --disk-only
# cat sn-tck1.xml
<domainsnapshot>
<name>snapshot-tck1</name>
<state>shutoff</state>
<creationTime>1356059598</creationTime>
<memory snapshot='no'/>
<disks>
<disk name='vda' snapshot='external'>
<driver type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/images/tt.snapshot-tck1'/>
</disk>
</disks>
</domainsnapshot>
3. redefine snapshot
# virsh snapshot-create tt snapshot-tt.xml --redefine
Actual results:
libvirtd crash
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor
Expected results:
libvirtd works well

snapshot: qemu: Fix segfault and vanishing snapshots when redefining
When the disk alignment check done while redefining an existing snapshot
failed, the qemu driver attempted to free the existing snapshot. As in
the cleanup path the definition of the snapshot wasn't assigned, the
cleanup code dereferenced a NULL pointer.
This patch changes the behavior on error paths while redefining snapshot
in two ways:
1) On failure, modifications done on the snapshot definition object are
rolled back.
2) The previous definition of the data isn't freed until it's certain it
won't be needed any more.
This change avoids the segfault and additionally the snapshot doesn't
vanish if redefinition fails for some reason.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
