Hi,

I just noticed this patch because my provider told me that my KVM based
server
needs a reboot because of a CVE (see this German news:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Venom-Schwachstelle-Aus-Hypervisor-ausbrechen-und-VMs-ausspionieren-2649614.html)


Isn't a live migration to a fixed version enough instead of a reboot?

Stefan



If your management API or host or whatever lets you migrate back to the
same host, or has another host they can migrate you to, yes.

i'm my host ;-) I was just interested if for whatever reason live migration is not enough and was wondering why someone wants to reboot a vm for something like this.

Thanks!

Stefan

During processing of certain commands such as FD_CMD_READ_ID and
FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND the fifo memory access could
get out of bounds leading to memory corruption with values coming
from the guest.

Fix this by making sure that the index is always bounded by the
allocated memory.

This is CVE-2015-3456.

I'd combine both statements and perhaps use fdctrl->fifo_size (even if
the resulting code will be slightly larger):

pos = fdctrl->data_pos % fdctrl->fifo_size;

Shorter (and more clear):

Not strictly related to this patch: The code which sets fifo_size could
also be improved.

      fdctrl->fifo = qemu_memalign(512, FD_SECTOR_LEN);
      fdctrl->fifo_size = 512;

The 2nd line should be

      fdctrl->fifo_size = FD_SECTOR_LEN;


As far as I see the original code can read or write illegal memory
locations in the address space of the QEMU process. It cannot (as it was
claimed) modify the code of the VM host because those memory is usually
write protected - at least if QEMU is running without KVM. If the code
which is generated for KVM is writable from anywhere in QEMU, we should
perhaps consider changing that.
