[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/3] 9pfs: fix integer overflow issue in xattr read/write

[Li Qiang]

From: Li Qiang <address@hidden>

The v9fs_xattr_read() and v9fs_xattr_write() are passed a guest
originated offset: they must ensure this offset does not go beyond
the size of the extended attribute that was set in v9fs_xattrcreate().
Unfortunately, the current code implement these checks with unsafe
calculations on 32 and 64 bit values, which may allow a malicious
guest to cause OOB access anyway.

Fix this by comparing the offset and the xattr size, which are
both uint64_t, before trying to compute the effective number of bytes
to read or write.

Changes since v2:
-make the solution of 'copied_len/len' in V9fsXattr type issue to a separate 
patch.
-add detailed changelog.

Changes since v1:
-delete 'xattr_len'.
