    nbd/server: CVE-2017-15118 Stack smash on large export name · 51ae4f84
    Eric Blake 提交于
    Introduced in commit f37708f6 (2.10).  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.
