[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix SIGFPE race for vnc display resize

[Chris Webb]

cc39a92cbfc8 fixed a SIGFPE where the screen is resized to width/hight 1 and
then receives a mouse click. However, there is a still a tiny window here for
a race between the test for width/height > 1 and the division.

Sending this as I've just seen a SIGFPE from one of the qemu-kvm VMs running
in our public-facing cluster. Running gdb on the resulting core dump pointed
at line #1424 of vnc.c:

   1423     if (vs->absolute) {
   1424         kbd_mouse_event(ds_get_width(vs->ds) > 1 ?
   1425                           x * 0x7FFF / (ds_get_width(vs->ds) - 1) : 0x4000,
   1426                         ds_get_height(vs->ds) > 1 ?
   1427                           y * 0x7FFF / (ds_get_height(vs->ds) - 1) : 0x4000,
   1428                         dz, buttons);

I think this must have been a (tight) race between the comparison and the
division. This should probably go to the 0.12-stable branch too as that's
where I saw the crash. I can send a rebased patch if that's more convenient?

A pity this crash happened just after the release of 0.12.5 rather than a
week or two earlier!
