From 850f458cb2b8ff8e565304666cd60dd435950931 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: aurel32 Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:26:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] add format= to drive options (CVE-2008-2004) It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2). Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments). The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents), so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new "format=raw" parameter for raw disk images. Originally noted by Avi Kivity, patch from Chris Wright. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@4277 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162 --- qemu-doc.texi | 4 ++++ vl.c | 13 +++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/qemu-doc.texi b/qemu-doc.texi index 45c89ce..1f409f4 100644 --- a/qemu-doc.texi +++ b/qemu-doc.texi @@ -261,6 +261,10 @@ These options have the same definition as they have in @option{-hdachs}. @var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and allows to enable snapshot for given drive (see @option{-snapshot}). @item cache=@var{cache} @var{cache} is "on" or "off" and allows to disable host cache to access data. +@item format=@var{format} +Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting +the format.
