Hello,
Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Network Block Device(NBD) Server support
is vulnerable to a crash via assertion failure. It could occur when a
nbd-client sends a spec-compliant request that is near the boundary of the
maximum permitted length. A remote user/process could use this flaw to crash
the qemu-nbd server resulting in DoS.
Upstream patch:
---------------
-> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-06/msg02031.html
Issue introduced since QEMU v4.2
-> https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=93676c88d7a5cd5971de94f9091eff8e9773b1af
server:
- Adjust things to allow full 4k name limit rather than previous 256 byte
limit
- It allowed nbd-client to send longer (>256 bytes) export names
This issue was reported by Eric Blake and Xueqiang Wei of Red Hat Inc.
Thank you.
