From: Michal Privoznik <mpriv...@redhat.com> After f771c5440e04626f1 it is possible to select device and head which to take screendump from. And even though we check if provided head number falls within range, it may still happen that the console has no surface yet leading to SIGSEGV:
qemu.git $ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -qmp stdio \ -device virtio-vga,id=video0,max_outputs=4 {"execute":"qmp_capabilities"} {"execute":"screendump", "arguments":{"filename":"/tmp/screen.ppm", "device":"video0", "head":1}} Segmentation fault #0 0x00005628249dda88 in ppm_save (filename=0x56282826cbc0 "/tmp/screen.ppm", ds=0x0, errp=0x7fff52a6fae0) at ui/console.c:304 #1 0x00005628249ddd9b in qmp_screendump (filename=0x56282826cbc0 "/tmp/screen.ppm", has_device=true, device=0x5628276902d0 "video0", has_head=true, head=1, errp=0x7fff52a6fae0) at ui/console.c:375 #2 0x00005628247740df in qmp_marshal_screendump (args=0x562828265e00, ret=0x7fff52a6fb68, errp=0x7fff52a6fb60) at qapi/qapi-commands-ui.c:110 Here, @ds from frame #0 (or @surface from frame #1) is dereferenced at the very beginning of ppm_save(). And because it's NULL crash happens.
