Matthias Maier - Ported to 0.13.3 From fbbcdad773e2791cfb988f4748faa41943551ca6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frediano Ziglio Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 15:57:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] reds: Avoid buffer overflows handling monitor configuration It was also possible for a malicious client to set VDAgentMonitorsConfig::num_of_monitors to a number larger than the actual size of VDAgentMOnitorsConfig::monitors. This would lead to buffer overflows, which could allow the guest to read part of the host memory. This might cause write overflows in the host as well, but controlling the content of such buffers seems complicated.
