assertion failure in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c

[PATCH 0/2] assertion failure in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c

Posted by Mauro Matteo Cascella 3 years, 9 months ago

An assertion failure issue was reported by Mr. Ziming Zhang (CC'd).
It occurs in the code that processes network packets while adding data
fragments into packet context. This flaw could potentially be abused by
a malicious guest to abort the QEMU process on the host. This two patch
series does a couple of things:

- introduces a new function in net_tx_pkt.{c,h} to check the maximum number
  of data fragments
- adds a check in both e1000e and vmxnet3 devices to skip the packet if the
  current data fragment exceeds max_raw_frags, preventing
  net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() to be called with an invalid raw_frags

Mauro Matteo Cascella (2):
  hw/net/net_tx_pkt: add function to check pkt->max_raw_frags
  hw/net: check max_raw_frags in e1000e and vmxnet3 devices

I sent a reproducer for the to the list some time ago, but never created
a Launchpad bug...
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg701930.html

Anyways.. I can confirm that I can't reproduce the issue with these
patches.

Thank you Alexander for testing the patch and providing the
reproducer. I think you should be credited, along with Ziming, for
independently reporting the same issue.

The idea looks good to me. I believe it makes sense to do the check in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() as suggested by Jason.
