Subject: [PATCH v2] migration: validate page_size in mapped-ram header before use
Date: Sun,  5 Apr 2026 16:44:47 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405094447.11347-1-viking4@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Trieu Huynh <vikingtc4@gmail.com>

mapped_ram_read_header() reads page_size from the migration stream and
stores it in MappedRamHeader, but does not validate that the value is
non-zero before it is later used in parse_ramblock_mapped_ram():

num_pages = length / header.page_size;

If a corrupted or malformed migration stream provides invalid, guest
resumes either with corrupted memory or crashes unexpectedly (eg.
page_size = 0)

Add validation in mapped_ram_read_header() to reject invalid page_size
values early and return an error instead of continuing with an invalid
header.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a migration snapshot with mapped-ram enabled:
(qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
(qemu) migrate file:/tmp/qemu-snapshots/snapshot.bin
Modify the snapshot so that MappedRamHeader.page_size becomes diff with
target psize. (0/512/8192/1GB).
Restore the snapshot:
(qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
(qemu) migrate_incoming file:/tmp/qemu-snapshots/snapshot.bin

As-is:
* [0]: Floating point exception (core dumped)
* [512/8192]: Silent corruption
* [1GB]: "post load hook failed for: kvm-tpr-opt" (EPERM)
To-be:
* All: qemu-system-x86_64: Migration mapped-ram header has invalid
  page_size [val] (expected 4096)

v2:
- Replace == 0 check with != TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, which also catches
  non-zero wrong values and matches the actual invariant of the
  mapped-ram feature (suggested by Peter Xu)
- Include actual and expected values in the error message
