Currently,\nmigrating a GByteArray requires treating it as a raw C struct and using\nVMSTATE_VBUFFER_ALLOC_UINT32. For example, see vmstate_vdba in\nui/vdagent.c\n\nQEMU cannot pretend that GByteArray is a C struct and simply use\nVMS_ALLOC to g_malloc() the buffer. This is because, VMS_ALLOC blindly\noverwrites the data pointer with a newly allocated buffer, thereby\nleaking the previous memory. Besides, GLib tracks the array's capacity\nin a hidden alloc field. Bypassing GLib APIs leave this capacity out of\nsync with the newly allocated buffer, potentially leading to heap buffer\noverflows during subsequent g_byte_array_append() calls.\n\nThis commit introduces VMSTATE_GBYTEARRAY which uses specific library\nAPI calls (g_byte_array_set_size()) to safely resize and populate the\nbuffer.\n\nSigned-off-by: Arun Menon <armenon@redhat.com>\nFix-Suggested-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>\nSigned-off-by: Arun Menon <armenon@redhat.com>\n---\n include/migration/vmstate.h | 10 ++++++++++\n migration/vmstate-types.c | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+)", "diff": "diff --git a/include/migration/vmstate.h b/include/migration/vmstate.h\nindex 62c2abd0c4..f503a40ec0 100644\n--- a/include/migration/vmstate.h\n+++ b/include/migration/vmstate.h\n@@ -265,6 +265,7 @@ extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_bitmap;\n extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_qtailq;\n extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_gtree;\n extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_qlist;\n+extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_g_byte_array;\n \n #define type_check_2darray(t1,t2,n,m) ((t1(*)[n][m])0 - (t2*)0)\n /*\n@@ -892,6 +893,15 @@ extern const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_qlist;\n .start = offsetof(_type, _next), \\\n }\n \n+#define VMSTATE_GBYTEARRAY(_field, _state, _version) { \\\n+ .name = (stringify(_field)), \\\n+ .version_id = (_version), \\\n+ .size = sizeof(GByteArray), \\\n+ .info = &vmstate_info_g_byte_array, \\\n+ .flags = VMS_SINGLE, \\\n+ .offset = vmstate_offset_pointer(_state, _field, GByteArray), \\\n+}\n+\n /* _f : field name\n _f_n : num of elements field_name\n _n : num of elements\ndiff --git a/migration/vmstate-types.c b/migration/vmstate-types.c\nindex 89cb211472..743c2092e9 100644\n--- a/migration/vmstate-types.c\n+++ b/migration/vmstate-types.c\n@@ -942,3 +942,40 @@ const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_qlist = {\n .get = get_qlist,\n .put = put_qlist,\n };\n+\n+static int get_g_byte_array(QEMUFile *f, void *pv, size_t size,\n+ const VMStateField *field)\n+{\n+ GByteArray **byte_array = (GByteArray **)pv;\n+ uint32_t len = qemu_get_be32(f);\n+\n+ if (*byte_array == NULL) {\n+ *byte_array = g_byte_array_new();\n+ }\n+\n+ g_byte_array_set_size(*byte_array, len);\n+ if (len > 0) {\n+ qemu_get_buffer(f, (*byte_array)->data, len);\n+ }\n+ return 0;\n+}\n+\n+static int put_g_byte_array(QEMUFile *f, void *pv, size_t size,\n+ const VMStateField *field, JSONWriter *vmdesc)\n+{\n+ GByteArray *byte_array = *(GByteArray **)pv;\n+ uint32_t len = byte_array ? byte_array->len : 0;\n+\n+ qemu_put_be32(f, len);\n+ if (len > 0) {\n+ qemu_put_buffer(f, byte_array->data, len);\n+ }\n+\n+ return 0;\n+}\n+\n+const VMStateInfo vmstate_info_g_byte_array = {\n+ .name = \"GByteArray\",\n+ .get = get_g_byte_array,\n+ .put = put_g_byte_array,\n+};\n", "prefixes": [ "v2", "1/2" ] }
