[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 01/11] qiov: prevent double free or use-after-free

[Paolo Bonzini]

qemu_iovec_destroy does not clear the QEMUIOVector fully, and the data
could thus be used after free or freed again.  This can be observed with
virtio-scsi, because canceling DMA requests can happen more easily with
SCSI (due to task management functions) than with other backends.
