[PATCH] hw/scsi/scsi-disk: Disallow block sizes smaller than 512 [CVE-2023-42467]
Posted by Thomas Huth 7 months, 1 week ago
We are doing things like

    nb_sectors /= (s->qdev.blocksize / BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE);

in the code here (e.g. in scsi_disk_emulate_mode_sense()), so if
the blocksize is smaller than BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE (=512), this crashes
with a division by 0 exception. Thus disallow block sizes of 256
bytes to avoid this situation.
