Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/5] multiboot: Reject kernels exceeding the address space
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2018 15:41:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180321144107.22770-2-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180321144107.22770-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
The code path where mh_load_end_addr is non-zero in the Multiboot
header checks that mh_load_end_addr >= mh_load_addr and so
mb_load_size is checked. However, mb_load_size is not checked when
calculated from the file size, when mh_load_end_addr is 0.
If the kernel binary size is larger than can fit in the address space
after load_addr, we ended up with a kernel_size that is smaller than
load_size, which means that we read the file into a too small buffer.
Add a check to reject kernel files with such Multiboot headers.
