Subject: [PULL 04/11] block/vmdk: Use larger types for byte counts in vmdk_read_extent()
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 17:45:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109164533.293487-5-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109164533.293487-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
In vmdk_read_extent() we use 'int' for cluster_bytes and buf_bytes.
However, cluster_bytes is extent->cluster_sectors * 512 and buf_bytes
is cluster_bytes * 2. The maximum value for extent->cluster_sectors
(enforced in vmdk_add_extent()) is 0x20_0000, and so the worst case
for buf_bytes is 0x8000_0000, which overflows a signed int.
Make the variable types here int64_t, which matches the type used by
bdrv_co_pread()'s bytes argument and by extent->cluster_sectors.
The worst case thing that a malicious VMDK image could do is cause us
to try to g_malloc() 0xffffffff80000000, which will cause QEMU to
abort(), so this is a self-denial-of-service only, and so a hardening
bug rather than a security issue.
