It's what I had originally, but qemu_peek_byte() at the end of the day is the exact same as qemu_get_byte, but doesn't increment the internal buffer counter. So any error conditions that incur because the read failed still happen with peek_byte and are a lot less intuitive. > >> + uint32_t size = qemu_get_be32(f); >> + uint8_t *buf = g_malloc(size); >> + >> + if (buf) { >> + qemu_get_buffer(f, buf, size); >> + g_free(buf); >> + } > > This is slightly dangerous; a malformed file could send you a huge > value and get you to allocate lots of memory for no good reason. > > You could do some clever; but personally I'd just loop around a > nice small buffer until it's gone. Good idea.

Yeah, I guess I'll follow up with a fix to disable VMDESC submission on older versions, just to be on the safe side. Alex
