Out of memory in hw/omap-dss for ARM

Host environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04
  • OS/kernel version: Linux 5.15.0-56-generic
  • Architecture: x86
  • QEMU flavor: qemu-system-arm
  • QEMU version: 7.2.50
  • QEMU command line: see below

Description of problem

In omap-dss, g_realloc() can allocate a large buffer using out of the memory.

  • [1] set pixels to any value
  • [2] double pixels
  • [3] allocate a large buffer
static void omap_rfbi_write(...) {
   switch (addr) {
     case 0x44: /* RFBI_PIXELCNT */
        s->rfbi.pixels = value; // ------------------------------------> [1]
        break;

static void omap_rfbi_transfer_start(struct omap_dss_s *s) {
    len = s->rfbi.pixels * 2;  // -------------------------------------> [2]
    if (!data) {
        if (len > bounce_len) {
            bounce_buffer = g_realloc(bounce_buffer, len); // ---------> [3]
        }

Steps to reproduce

export QEMU=/path/to/qemu-system-arm

cat << EOF | $QEMU \
-machine n810,accel=qtest -m 128M -qtest stdio -monitor none -serial none \
-display none -nodefaults -qtest stdio
