Doc Text:
* Prior to this update, when using the "rhel6.0.0" Quick Emulator (QEMU) machine type, the guest could receive invalid drawing commands. Consequently, spice-server terminated unexpectedly. With this update, spice-server detects these invalid drawing commands and ignores them. As a result, spice-server no longer crashes when using the "rhel6.0.0" QEMU machine type. (BZ#1135372)

Comment 1 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-08-29 07:37:06 UTC
See last comment from original bug.  spice-server should never pass us negative values.

Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-09-05 00:30:00 UTC
The origin of the invilid drawing is 

#0  make_drawable (compat_qxl=0x1332840, type=1 '\001', rect=0x7fff86e33d30)
    at compat-qxl_driver.c:393

(gdb) print *pBox
$5 = {x1 = 941, y1 = -19, x2 = 945, y2 = 5}

(note that the int is copied in a uint32 of compat_qxl_rect and then copied back to an int in qemu...)

The new revision driver doesn't reach this condition in the PolyFillRect implementation, probably because of real or "fake" offscreen surface implementation.

It seems remving the qxl code in compat_qxl_poly_fill_rect() doesn't change the drawing result or create artefacts (even with bare X applications, such as xclock). I would propose that fix for xorg-qxl driver.

However, we need to add more checks in server the server to prevent guest from crashing host qemu.

Comment 4 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-09-05 21:11:32 UTC
xorg qxl driver build provided for rebase #1078390 shouldn't reach that issue. The server remains to be made more robust by adding checks of drawable->bbox against the surface it is operating with.
