[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/6] qemu-bridge-helper: Fix misuse of isspace()

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

parse_acl_file() passes char values to isspace().  Undefined behavior
when the value is negative.  Not a security issue, because the
characters come from trusted $prefix/etc/qemu/bridge.conf and the
files it includes.

Furthermore, isspace()'s locale-dependence means qemu-bridge-helper
uses the user's locale for parsing $prefix/etc/bridge.conf.  Feels
wrong.

Use g_ascii_isspace() instead.  This fixes the undefined behavior, and
makes parsing of $prefix/etc/bridge.conf locale-independent.
