[PATCH 1/2] qxl: map rom r/o


From: Gerd Hoffmann
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] qxl: map rom r/o
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2020 06:59:19 +0100

Map qxl rom read-only into the guest, so the guest can't tamper with the
content.  qxl has a shadow copy of the rom to deal with that, but the
shadow doesn't cover the mode list.  A privilidged user in the guest can
manipulate the mode list and that to trick qemu into oob reads, leading
to a DoS via segfault if that read access happens to hit unmapped memory.
