Subject: [GIT PULL 2/9] hw/display/vga: fix panning_buf OOB after text/graphics switch
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 11:18:51 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804-fix-v1-2-0c2be5390809@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804-fix-v1-0-0c2be5390809@redhat.com>
The fields last_width and last_height serve two purposes: the text
renderer counts in characters, the graphics renderer in pixels.
panning_buf reallocation is guarded by geometry-change check, so the
unit mismatch can trick it into thinking nothing changed when the
resolution actually grew.
A guest can trigger this by switching graphics -> text -> graphics:
1. Enter graphics mode with a small width (CR01=0x00, 8 pixels).
The predicate fires and panning_buf is allocated for that width.
2. Switch to text mode with a large width (CR01=0xFF, 256 chars).
The text renderer stores 256 into last_width. The text path
never touches panning_buf.
3. Switch back to graphics with a width that happens to equal 256
in pixels (CR01=0x1F, 32*8 = 256). The predicate sees
256 == 256 and skips the realloc. With horizontal pel panning
enabled, vga_draw_line4() then writes a full 256-pixel scanline
into the buffer still sized for 8 pixels -- a 960-byte heap
overflow on every scanline, every refresh.
Fix it by reallocating unconditionally panning_buf on
vga_draw_graphic().
Fixes: CVE-2026-17516
Fixes: 973a724eb006 ("vga: implement horizontal pel panning in graphics modes")
