Subject: [PATCH 5/8] migration/multifd: fix off-by-one in recv channel ID validation
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 19:01:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518110112.21395-6-guobin@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518110112.21395-1-guobin@linux.alibaba.com>
multifd_recv_initial_packet() validates the channel ID received from
the source against the configured number of channels. The current
check uses '>' which allows msg.id == N to pass through. This ID is
then used to index multifd_recv_state->params[msg.id], which was
allocated with g_new0(MultiFDRecvParams, N) -- an out-of-bounds
access.
A malicious or buggy source could send id == N and cause heap
corruption on the destination.
Fix by changing '>' to '>='. Also fix the error message to say
"exceeds channel count" for accuracy.
