[PATCH 2/3] adlib: mark as insecure and deprecated.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We have a lovely, guest-triggerable buffer overflow in opl2 emulation.

Reproducer:
    outw(0xff60, 0x220);
    outw(0x1020, 0x220);
    outw(0xffb0, 0x220);
Result:
    Will overflow FM_OPL->AR_TABLE[] (see hw/audio/fmopl.[ch])

The specs google finds (http://www.symphoniae.com/Yamaha/YSC/YM3812.pdf)
are rather sparse, possibly incomplete (looks like scanned fax with a
scrambled page at the end) and not really helpful in identifying which
of the register writes sets some illegal value.

So, go tag the device as deprecated with a warning messge, to notify
users and schedule it for removal according to our deprecation policy.
