Subject: daemon: write-file: Check range of size parameter (RHBZ#597135).
X-Git-Tag: 1.2.9~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb0ba47674e3f17c6076b79cec0939960084716d;p=libguestfs.git

daemon: write-file: Check range of size parameter (RHBZ#597135).

This also adds a regression test.

For stable-1.2 branch:
 - cherry picked from commit 9733d4746988b3a072d8bb1daac4b9795b8f4134
 - modify the regression test to apply against the generator
