[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 03/19] qemu-nbd: Sanity check partition bounds


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 03/19] qemu-nbd: Sanity check partition bounds
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2019 11:57:56 -0600

When the user requests a partition, we were using data read
from the disk as disk offsets without a bounds check. We got
lucky that even when computed offsets are out-of-bounds,
blk_pread() will gracefully catch the error later (so I don't
think a malicious image can crash or exploit qemu-nbd, and am
not treating this as a security flaw), but it's better to
flag the problem up front than to risk permanent EIO death of
the block device down the road.  Also, note that the
partition code blindly overwrites any offset passed in by the
user; so make the -o/-P combo an error for less confusion.

This can be tested with nbdkit:
$ echo hi > file
$ nbdkit -fv --filter=truncate partitioning file truncate=64k

Pre-patch:
$ qemu-nbd -p 10810 -P 1 -f raw nbd://localhost:10809 &
$ qemu-io -f raw nbd://localhost:10810
qemu-io> r -v 0 1

nbd://localhost:10809

Post-patch:
$ qemu-nbd -p 10810 -P 1 -f raw nbd://localhost:10809
qemu-nbd: Discovered partition 1 at offset 1048576 size 512, but size exceeds 
file length 65536
