[PATCH] tools/xenstored: Correctly read the requests header from the stream
Posted by Julien Grall 2 years, 10 months ago
From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

Commit c0fe360f42 ("tools/xenstored: Extend restore code to handle
multiple input buffer") extend the read_buffered_state() to support
multiple input buffers. Unfortunately, the commit didn't go far
enough and still used sc->data (start of the buffers) for retrieving
the header. This would lead to read the wrong headers for second and
follow-up commands.

Use data in place for sc->data for the source of the memcpy()s.

Fixes: c0fe360f42 ("tools/xenstored: Extend restore code to handle multiple input buffer")
Reported-by: Raphael Ning <raphning@amazon.com>

I unfortunately didn't spot the issue because I forgot to check whether
the REQ ID of the responses were unique.
