[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 1/3] x86: Fix out of bounds access when processing online_cpus

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

 



online_cpus is misdeclared as a 64 *byte* variable instead of a 64 *bit*
variable.  This causes init_apic_map() to test random bytes when it
iterates over online_cpus, which in turn can cause it to overflow id_map
and corrupt rnadom memory, e.g. pg_base.  Declare online_cpus using
MAX_TEST_CPUS, which presumably is set explicitly to match the storage
size of online_cpus (64-bit values == max of 64 CPUS).
