Below are a number of fixes to some off-by-one, read outside array bounds, and NULL pointer accesses detected by an internal Oracle static analysis tool (Parfait). https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=labs:49:::::P49_PROJECT_ID:13
I have also included a patch to add a command-line option to configure to select if AVX2 is used or not (keeping the existing behaviour by default). My motivation was avoiding an issue with the static analysis tool but NetSpectre was announced as I was working on this and I felt it may have more general uses. v1 -> v2 Based on feedback from Eric Blake: patch2: reworded commit message to clarify issue patch6: Reverted common qlist routines and added assert to qlist_dump instead patch7: Fixed incorrect logic patch8: Added QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON to catch future Ń–nstance at compile-time v2 -> v3 Based on feedback from Eric Blake: patch6: removed double space from commit message patch8: removed unnecessary comment and updated QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON to use ARRAY_SIZE Added Eric's R-b to patches 6,7,8 Liam Merwick (8): configure: Provide option to explicitly disable AVX2 job: Fix off-by-one assert checks for JobSTT and JobVerbTable block: Null pointer dereference in blk_root_get_parent_desc() qemu-img: potential Null pointer deref in img_commit() block: Fix potential Null pointer dereferences in vvfat.c block: dump_qlist() may dereference a Null pointer io: potential unnecessary check in qio_channel_command_new_spawn() qcow2: Read outside array bounds in qcow2_pre_write_overlap_check() block/block-backend.c | 2 +- block/qapi.c | 2 ++ block/qcow2-refcount.c | 18 ++++++++-------- block/vvfat.c | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ configure | 11 ++++++++-- io/channel-command.c | 3 +-- job.c | 4 ++-- qemu-img.c | 3 +++ 8 files changed, 84 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
