Subject: [PATCH] block: Zero block driver state before reopening
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:48:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250310104858.28221-1-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)

Block drivers assume in their .bdrv_open() implementation that their
state in bs->opaque has been zeroed; it is initially allocated with
g_malloc0() in bdrv_open_driver().

bdrv_snapshot_goto() needs to make sure that it is zeroed again before
calling drv->bdrv_open() to avoid that block drivers use stale values.

One symptom of this bug is VMDK running into a double free when the user
tries to apply an internal snapshot like 'qemu-img snapshot -a test
test.vmdk'. This should be a graceful error because VMDK doesn't support
internal snapshots.

This error was discovered by fuzzing qemu-img.
