rocker_tlv_parse_nested could return early because of no group ids in
the group_tlvs. In such case tlvs is NULL; tlvs[i + 1] in the next
for-loop will deref the NULL pointer.

Someone somehow reserved a new CVE for this bug, published a few days
ago here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-36648.

Not only is this not CVE worthy (rocker code does not fall under the
KVM virtualization use case [1]) but what's most concerning is that it
got a CVSS score of 10 :/

I'm going to dispute this CVE. Hopefully, it will be rejected soon. In
any case, can we get this patch merged?

Looking at the code once again, tlvs is a pointer to a g_new0
allocated memory, so I don't know how it can be NULL after
rocker_tlv_parse_nested (unless g_new0 returns NULL in the first
place). I do not recall the details of this bug. Arayz?

Per <glib.h>:

   If any call to allocate memory using functions g_new(), g_new0(),
   g_renew(), g_malloc(), g_malloc0(), g_malloc0_n(), g_realloc(), and
   g_realloc_n() fails, the application is terminated. This also means
   that there is no need to check if the call succeeded. On the other
   hand, g_try_...() family of functions returns NULL on failure that
   can be used as a check for unsuccessful memory allocation. The
   application is not terminated in this case.


group->l2_flood.group_count is a uint16_t, so up to UINT16_MAX = 0xffff.

So:

   tlvs = g_new0(RockerTlv *, group->l2_flood.group_count + 1);

is at most an malloc(0x10000 * sizeof(void *)) = 0x80000 = 512 KiB.

QEMU use way bigger heap allocations.

I don't know the net/ subsystem enough to have an idea about how many
concurrent packets can be processed by this device model, but I'd be
surprised if this triggers a OOM.

As usual, do you have a reproducer?

I just found the original bug report and opened a new issue upstream.
See https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1851.
