lan9118 bug peeked received message size not equal to actual received message size

peeked message is not equal to read message


Bug in the code at line:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/hw/net/lan9118.c#L1209

s->tx_status_fifo_head should be s->rx_status_fifo_head

Thanks,

Alfred

Do you have a test case that will reproduce this bug ?


(The line of code you point out is pretty clearly wrong; it would just be nice to have a test case to confirm that the obvious fix works.)

This patchset should fix this bug:

PS: this isn't a security issue because the lan9118 is used only on board models that can't run under KVM and so it is not on QEMU's security boundary.


We do have some code, that is giving different results, between the peeked and the actual:

We also have a fix to circumvent the problem by just reading the actual size and omit the peeked bytes.

changing the code i pointed locally worked fine, but we can't expect all our users to compile qemu from scratch and apply a patch

Fix now in master: commit e7e29fdbbe07f.
