The NBD spec says a client +can request export names up to 4096 bytes in length, even though +they should not expect success on names longer than 256. However, +qemu hard-codes the limit of 256, and fails to filter out a client +that probes for a longer name; the result is a stack smash that can +potentially give an attacker arbitrary control over the qemu +process. + +The smash can be easily demonstrated with this client: +$ qemu-io f raw nbd://localhost:10809/$(printf %3000d 1 | tr ' ' a) + +If the qemu NBD server binary (whether the standalone qemu-nbd, or +the builtin server of QMP nbd-server-start) was compiled with +-fstack-protector-strong, the ability to exploit the stack smash +into arbitrary execution is a lot more difficult (but still +theoretically possible to a determined attacker, perhaps in +combination with other CVEs). Still, crashing a running qemu (and +losing the VM) is bad enough, even if the attacker did not obtain +full execution control. + +CC: qemu-stable@nongnu.org +Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> +--- + nbd/server.c | 4 ++++ + 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/nbd/server.c b/nbd/server.c +index a81801e3bc..92c0fdd03b 100644 +--- a/nbd/server.c ++++ b/nbd/server.c +@@ -386,6 +386,10 @@ static int nbd_negotiate_handle_info(NBDClient *client, uint32_t length, + msg = "name length is incorrect"; + goto invalid; + } ++ if (namelen >= sizeof(name)) { ++ msg = "name too long for qemu"; ++ goto invalid; ++ } + if (nbd_read(client->ioc, name, namelen, errp) < 0) { + return -EIO; + } +-- +2.15.0 + |
