The websocket GSource is monitoring the size of the rawoutput buffer to determine if the channel can accepts more writes. The rawoutput buffer, however, is merely a temporary staging buffer before data is copied into the encoutput buffer. Thus its size will always be zero when the GSource runs. This flaw causes the encoutput buffer to grow without bound if the other end of the underlying data channel doesn't read data being sent. This can be seen with VNC if a client is on a slow WAN link and the guest OS is sending many screen updates. A malicious VNC client can act like it is on a slow link by playing a video in the guest and then reading data very slowly, causing QEMU host memory to expand arbitrarily. This issue is assigned CVE-2017-15268, publically reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1718964 Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
