Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] 9pfs: fix information leak in xattr read
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 21:44:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <57e9f923.05acca0a.3dec3.0ccc@mx.google.com> (raw)
From: Li Qiang <liqiang6-s@360.cn>
9pfs uses g_malloc() to allocate the xattr memory space, if the guest
reads this memory before writing to it, this will leak host heap
memory to the guest. This patch avoid this.
