[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 4/6] gdbstub: Fix misuse of isxdigit() |
Date: |

gdb_read_byte() passes its @ch argument to isxdigit(). Undefined
behavior when the value is negative. Two callers:
* gdb_chr_receive() passes an uint8_t value. Safe.
* gdb_handlesig() a char value. Unsafe. Not a security issue,
because the characters come from the gdb client, which is trusted.
The obvious fix would be casting @ch to unsigned char. But note that
gdb_read_byte() already casts @ch to uint8_t in many places. Uses of
@ch without such a cast:
(1) Compare to a character constant with == or !=
(2) s->linesum += ch
(3) Store ch or ch ^ 0x20 into s->line_buf[]
(4) Check for invalid RLE count:
ch < ' ' || ch == '#' || ch == '$' || ch > 126
(5) Pass to isxdigit()
(6) Pass to fromhex()
Change the parameter type from int to uint8_t, and drop the now
redundant casts. Affects the above uses as follows:
(1) No change: the character constants are all non-negative.
(2) Effectively no change: we only ever use s->linesum & 0xff, and
s->linesum is int.
(3) No change: s->line_buf[] is char[].
(4) No change.
(5) Avoid undefined behavior.
(6) No change: only reached when isxdigit(ch)
