Subject: [PULL 05/11] block/vmdk: Reject a zero cluster_sectors parameter
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 17:45:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109164533.293487-6-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109164533.293487-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
In vmdk_add_extent() we reject image files with an excessively large
cluster_sectors parameter, but have no lower bound. In particular,
if the cluster_sectors is 0 then we will set l1_entry_sectors also to
0, and later crash with a SIGFPE for division by zero.
Reject a zero cluster_sectors value, unless this is a flat extent (in
which case cluster_sectors isn't relevant and the callsite always
passes us zero).
The worst case here is a self-denial-of-service with a QEMU crash,
so this is a hardening bug.
