[PATCH v2] virtio-dmabuf: Ensure UUID persistence for hash table insertion

[Dorinda Bassey]

In `virtio_add_resource` function, the UUID used as a key for
`g_hash_table_insert` was temporary, which could lead to
invalid lookups when accessed later. This patch ensures that
the UUID remains valid by duplicating it into a newly allocated
memory space. The value is then inserted into the hash table
with this persistent UUID key to ensure that the key stored in
the hash table remains valid as long as the hash table entry
exists.

Hi Albert and Michael,

seems this patch fell through the cracks, It was posted but never picked
up. Could you help push it? thanks!

I do not remember this patch! Great that you checked, as this fixes a
legitimate issue. Hopefully will get integrated this time.

We missed this patch during the -rc period. Can it be included?

it fixes invalid memory access / use-after-free .

Note: I think the original intent was that the @uuid argument
ownership was passed:
virtio_add_dmabuf/virtio_add_vhost_device
 * @uuid: new resource's UUID

It could be clarified and be passed as const like getters to eventually help...

I guess we missed this in several releases since it was sent 1 year ago :-)

BTW I think the main issue here was not ccing Michael (now in CC):

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/display/virtio-dmabuf.c
Albert Esteve <aesteve@redhat.com> (supporter:virtio-dmabuf)
"Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com> (supporter:virtio)
qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)

So, I'm not sure if it's better to rebase and resend (including the
R-b) with the right maintainers in CC.

[PATCH v2] virtio-dmabuf: Ensure UUID persistence for hash table insertion

[Dorinda Bassey]

In `virtio_add_resource` function, the UUID used as a key for
`g_hash_table_insert` was temporary, which could lead to
invalid lookups when accessed later. This patch ensures that
the UUID remains valid by duplicating it into a newly allocated
memory space. The value is then inserted into the hash table
with this persistent UUID key to ensure that the key stored in
the hash table remains valid as long as the hash table entry
exists.
