From d3f881aa267e38b9460dcc23fe20787e095b559a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 19:12:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ui: fix VNC client throttling when audio capture is active MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The VNC server must throttle data sent to the client to prevent the 'output' buffer size growing without bound, if the client stops reading data off the socket (either maliciously or due to stalled/slow network connection). The current throttling is very crude because it simply checks whether the output buffer offset is zero. This check must be disabled if audio capture is enabled, because when streaming audio the output buffer offset will rarely be zero due to queued audio data, and so this would starve framebuffer updates. As a result, the VNC client can cause QEMU to allocate arbitrary amounts of RAM. They can first start something in the guest that triggers lots of framebuffer updates eg play a youtube video. Then enable audio capture, and simply never read data back from the server. This can easily make QEMU's VNC server send buffer consume 100MB of RAM per second, until the OOM killer starts reaping processes (hopefully the rogue QEMU process, but it might pick others...). To address this we make the throttling more intelligent, so we can throttle when audio capture is active too. To determine how to throttle incremental updates or audio data, we calculate a size threshold. Normally the threshold is the approximate number of bytes associated with a single complete framebuffer update. ie width * height * bytes per pixel. We'll send incremental updates until we hit this threshold, at which point we'll stop sending updates until data has been written to the wire, causing the output buffer offset to fall back below the threshold. If audio capture is enabled, we increase the size of the threshold to also allow for upto 1 seconds worth of audio data samples. ie nchannels * bytes per sample * frequency. This allows the output buffer to have a mixture of incremental framebuffer updates and audio data queued, but once the threshold is exceeded, audio data will be dropped and incremental updates will be throttled. This unbounded memory growth affects all VNC server configurations supported by QEMU, with no workaround possible. The mitigating factor is that it can only be triggered by a client that has authenticated with the VNC server, and who is able to trigger a large quantity of framebuffer updates or audio samples from the guest OS. Mostly they'll just succeed in getting the OOM killer to kill their own QEMU process, but its possible other processes can get taken out as collateral damage. This is a more general variant of the similar unbounded memory usage flaw in the websockets server, that was previously assigned CVE-2017-15268, and fixed in 2.11 by: commit a7b20a8efa28e5f22c26c06cd06c2f12bc863493 Author: Daniel P.
