Title:
Stack address is returned from function translate_one
Status in QEMU:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The vulnerable version is qemu-2.8.0, and the vulnerable function is
in "target-s390x/translate.c".
The code snippet is as following.
static ExitStatus translate_one(CPUS390XState *env, DisasContext *s)
{
const DisasInsn *insn;
ExitStatus ret = NO_EXIT;
DisasFields f;
...
s->fields = &f;
...
s->pc = s->next_pc;
return ret;
}
A stack address, i.e. the address of local variable "f" is returned
from current function through the output parameter "s->fields" as a
side effect.
This issue is one kind of undefined behaviors, according the C
Standard, 6.2.4 [ISO/IEC 9899:2011]
(https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/DCL30-C.+Declare+objects+with+appropriate+storage+durations)
This dangerous defect may lead to an exploitable vulnerability.
We suggest sanitizing "s->fields" as null before return.
