5d360b
The VNC server must throttle data sent to the client to prevent the 'output'
5d360b
buffer size growing without bound, if the client stops reading data off the
5d360b
socket (either maliciously or due to stalled/slow network connection).
5d360b
5d360b
The current throttling is very crude because it simply checks whether the
5d360b
output buffer offset is zero. This check is disabled if the client has requested
5d360b
a forced update, because we want to send these as soon as possible.
5d360b
5d360b
As a result, the VNC client can cause QEMU to allocate arbitrary amounts of RAM.
5d360b
They can first start something in the guest that triggers lots of framebuffer
5d360b
updates eg play a youtube video. Then repeatedly send full framebuffer update
5d360b
requests, but never read data back from the server. This can easily make QEMU's
5d360b
VNC server send buffer consume 100MB of RAM per second, until the OOM killer
5d360b
starts reaping processes (hopefully the rogue QEMU process, but it might pick
5d360b
others...).
5d360b
5d360b
To address this we make the throttling more intelligent, so we can throttle
5d360b
full updates. When we get a forced update request, we keep track of exactly how
5d360b
much data we put on the output buffer. We will not process a subsequent forced
5d360b
update request until this data has been fully sent on the wire. We always allow
5d360b
one forced update request to be in flight, regardless of what data is queued
5d360b
for incremental updates or audio data. The slight complication is that we do
5d360b
not initially know how much data an update will send, as this is done in the
5d360b
background by the VNC job thread. So we must track the fact that the job thread
5d360b
has an update pending, and not process any further updates until this job is
5d360b
has been completed & put data on the output buffer.
5d360b
5d360b
This unbounded memory growth affects all VNC server configurations supported by
5d360b
QEMU, with no workaround possible. The mitigating factor is that it can only be
5d360b
triggered by a client that has authenticated with the VNC server, and who is
5d360b
able to trigger a large quantity of framebuffer updates or audio samples from
5d360b
the guest OS. Mostly they'll just succeed in getting the OOM killer to kill
5d360b
their own QEMU process, but its possible other processes can get taken out as
5d360b
collateral damage.
5d360b
5d360b
This is a more general variant of the similar unbounded memory usage flaw in
5d360b
the websockets server, that was previously assigned CVE-2017-15268, and fixed
5d360b
in 2.11 by:

This new general memory usage flaw has been assigned CVE-2017-15124, and is
5d360b
partially fixed by this patch.

RHEL-7 note: context differences in "struct VncState" and
5d360b
vnc_jobs_consume_buffer() due to downstream lacking (a) commit
5d360b
fb6ba0d5256c ("qapi event: convert VNC events", 2014-06-23), part of
5d360b
v2.1.0, and (b) commit 04d2529da27d ("ui: convert VNC server to use
5d360b
