Subject: [PATCH qemu v2 4/9] migration/pbs-state: check allocation of incoming state buffer
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:47:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907094744.131193-5-e.fastermann@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907094744.131193-1-e.fastermann@proxmox.com>
The length is read from the migration stream, so it cannot be trusted.
An unchecked malloc() means a corrupt or truncated state file makes
qemu_get_buffer() write through a NULL pointer. Also the short read path
returned without freeing the buffer.
