Subject: [PATCH qemu v2 3/9] migration/qemu-file: allocate buffer with g_malloc
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:47:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907094744.131193-4-e.fastermann@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907094744.131193-1-e.fastermann@proxmox.com>
Plain malloc() can fail and the result was never checked, while
savevm-async asks for a 4 MiB buffer. g_malloc() exits instead of
leaving a NULL buffer for the first write to dereference.
