When VM guest programs multicast addresses for
a virtio net card, it supplies a 32 bit
entries counter for the number of addresses.
These addresses are read into tail portion of
a fixed macs array which has size MAC_TABLE_ENTRIES,
at offset equal to in_use.
To avoid overflow of this array by guest, qemu attempts
to test the size as follows:
- if (in_use + mac_data.entries <= MAC_TABLE_ENTRIES) {
however, as mac_data.entries is uint32_t, this sum
can overflow, e.g. if in_use is 1 and mac_data.entries
is 0xffffffff then in_use + mac_data.entries will be 0.
Qemu will then read guest supplied buffer into this
memory, overflowing buffer on heap.
