Subject: [PULL 2/2] qxl: map rom r/o
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2020 10:18:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200302091836.29012-3-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200302091836.29012-1-kraxel@redhat.com>

Map qxl rom read-only into the guest, so the guest can't tamper with the
content.  qxl has a shadow copy of the rom to deal with that, but the
shadow doesn't cover the mode list.  A privilidged user in the guest can
manipulate the mode list and that to trick qemu into oob reads, leading
to a DoS via segfault if that read access happens to hit unmapped memory.
