Hello, QEMU community. The following patch is to fix a segmentation fault when nbd_runtime_opts.desc is not null-terminated.
This issue emerged when building QEMU with --enable-gcov, as described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1727259. To reproduce on ppc64le, run the following commands on QEMU git tree: mkdir build mkdir -p tests/qemu-iotests/scratch cd build ../configure --target-list=ppc64-softmmu --enable-gcov make -j$(nproc) ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1 ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 64M ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "write -P 0xa 0x1000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "write -P 0xb 0x2000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-img snapshot -c sn1 ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "write -P 0xc 0x1000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "write -P 0xd 0x2000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-img check -f qcow2 ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "read -P 0xc 0x1000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -c "read -P 0xd 0x2000 0x1000" ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 # run in background, wait some seconds until it starts ./qemu-nbd -v -t -k ${PWD}/tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/test_qemu_nbd_socket ./tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/t.qcow2 -l sn1 & sleep 5 # this will cause qemu-io to segfault ./qemu-io --cache writeback -f qcow2 -f raw --cache=writeback -r -c "read -P 0xa 0x1000 0x1000" nbd:unix:${PWD}/tests/qemu-iotests/scratch/test_qemu_nbd_socket # kill qemu-nbd kill $(pidof qemu-nbd) Cheers Murilo Murilo Opsfelder Araujo (1): block/nbd: fix segmentation fault when .desc is not null-terminated block/nbd.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) -- 2.14.3
