[PATCH] hw/core/loader: In gunzip(), check index is in range before use, not after
Posted by Peter Maydell 2 years, 8 months ago
The gunzip() function reads various fields from a passed in source
buffer in order to skip a header before passing the actual compressed
data to the zlib inflate() function.  It does check whether the
passed in buffer is too small, but unfortunately it checks that only
after reading bytes from the src buffer, so it could read off the end
of the buffer.

You can see this with valgrind:

 $ printf "%b" '\x1f\x8b' > /tmp/image
 $ valgrind qemu-system-aarch64 -display none -M virt -cpu max -kernel /tmp/image

Check that we have enough bytes of data to read the header bytes that
we read before we read them.
