[PATCH kvmtool 0/5] kvmtool: Fix few found bugs

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

 



In December, we hosted a CTF where one of the challenges was exploiting
any "0day" bug in kvmtool [1]. Eight teams managed to find a bug and
exploit it in less than 36 hours. Write-ups for exploits are available
by HXP [2] and kalmarunionen [3]. 

Now, I'm aware that kvmtool is mostly used for KVM testing and KVM bring-up
in simulation environments. But since it does get mentioned in some security-
related projects [4, 5] and has a sandboxing feature, maybe it makes sense
to fix these bugs.

Could you please check if these patches make sense?
I have not verified that these patches do not break something for these virtio
drivers.

Kind regards,
Martin
