Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ui: validate NUL byte padding in SASL client data more strictly
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 17:19:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241021161957.1431919-7-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241021161957.1431919-1-berrange@redhat.com>
When the SASL data is non-NULL, the SASL protocol spec requires that
it is padded with a trailing NUL byte. QEMU discards the trailing
byte, but does not currently validate that it was in fact a NUL.
Apply strict validation to better detect any broken clients.
