From: Greg Kurz <gr...@kaod.org> When using the 9P2000.u version of the protocol, the following shell command line in the guest can cause QEMU to crash:
while true; do rm -rf aa; mkdir -p a/b & touch a/b/c & mv a aa; done With 9P2000.u, file renaming is handled by the WSTAT command. The v9fs_wstat() function calls v9fs_complete_rename(), which calls v9fs_fix_path() for every fid whose path is affected by the change. The involved calls to v9fs_path_copy() may race with any other access to the fid path performed by some worker thread, causing a crash like shown below: Thread 12 "qemu-system-x86" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000555555a25da2 in local_open_nofollow (fs_ctx=0x555557d958b8, path=0x0, flags=65536, mode=0) at hw/9pfs/9p-local.c:59 59 while (*path && fd != -1) { (gdb) bt #0 0x0000555555a25da2 in local_open_nofollow (fs_ctx=0x555557d958b8, path=0x0, flags=65536, mode=0) at hw/9pfs/9p-local.c:59 #1 0x0000555555a25e0c in local_opendir_nofollow (fs_ctx=0x555557d958b8, path=0x0) at hw/9pfs/9p-local.c:92 #2 0x0000555555a261b8 in local_lstat (fs_ctx=0x555557d958b8, fs_path=0x555556b56858, stbuf=0x7fff84830ef0) at hw/9pfs/9p-local.c:185 #3 0x0000555555a2b367 in v9fs_co_lstat (pdu=0x555557d97498, path=0x555556b56858, stbuf=0x7fff84830ef0) at hw/9pfs/cofile.c:53 #4 0x0000555555a1e9e2 in v9fs_stat (opaque=0x555557d97498) at hw/9pfs/9p.c:1083 #5 0x0000555555e060a2 in coroutine_trampoline (i0=-669165424, i1=32767) at util/coroutine-ucontext.c:116 #6 0x00007fffef4f5600 in __start_context () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #7 0x0000000000000000 in () (gdb) The fix is to take the path write lock when calling v9fs_complete_rename(), like in v9fs_rename(). Impact: DoS triggered by unprivileged guest users.
