ASAN reported one issue when Live Updating Xenstored:

Address 0x7ffc194f53e0 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 80 in frame
     #0 0x555c6b32713e in dump_state_special_node 
xen/tools/xenstore/xenstored_domain.c:1232

   This frame has 2 object(s):
     [32, 40) 'head' (line 1233)
     [64, 80) 'sn' (line 1234) <== Memory access at offset 80 overflows this 
variable

This is happening because the callers are passing a pointer to a variable
allocated on the stack. However, the field perms is a dynamic array, so
Xenstored will end up to read outside of the variable.

Rework the code so the permissions are written one by one in the fd.
