[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] hw/s390x/ipl: Fix crashes that occurs when -kernel is used with small images
Posted by Thomas Huth 5 years, 10 months ago
Add a sanity checks to fix the following two crashes:

$ echo "Insane in the mainframe" > /tmp/test.txt
$ s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x -kernel /tmp/test.txt -append xyz
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ s390x-softmmu/qemu-system-s390x -kernel /tmp/test.txt -initrd /tmp/test.txt
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I just had to discover that this breaks the argv handling in
kvm-unit-tests. Cornelia, could you please unqueue this patch again?
I'll try to come up with a better solution...

kvm-unit-tests are ELF files which are not loaded to address 0, but
still use the same entry point as Linux (0x10000) to be able to use the
"--append" option of QEMU. Thus the check "kernel_size > KERN_PARM_AREA
+ strlen(ipl->cmdline)" does not work here. We'd need something like
"start_addr + kernel_size > KERN_PARM_AREA + strlen(ipl->cmdline)"
instead - but this does not make too much sense with ELF files that have
multiple segments either.

The correct fix is to check the size when calling rom_ptr() instead. I
just sent a patch that does this.
