[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spapr: fix out of bounds write in spapr_populate_drmem_v2

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spapr: fix out of bounds write in spapr_populate_drmem_v2

[Fabiano Rosas]

buf_len is uint8_t which is not large enough to hold the result of:

  nr_entries * sizeof(struct sPAPRDrconfCellV2) + sizeof(uint32_t);

for a nr_entries greater than 10.

This causes the allocated buffer 'int_buf' to be smaller than expected
and we eventually overwrite some of glibc's control structures (see
"chunk" in https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/MallocInternals)

The following error is seen while trying to free int_buf:

  "free(): invalid next size (fast)"

Ouch.  That was always bogus, we just got away with it before.

Applied to ppc-for-4.0.
