[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/5] multiboot: Reject kernels exceeding the address space

[Kevin Wolf]

The code path with a manually set mh_load_addr in the Multiboot header
checks that load_end_addr <= load_addr, but the path where load_end_addr
is automatically detected if 0 is given in the header misses the
corresponding check. If the kernel binary size is larger than can fit in
the address space after load_addr, we ended up with a kernel_size that
is smaller than load_size, which means that we read the file into a too
small buffer.

Add a check to reject kernel files with such Multiboot headers.
