Assuming that any image on a block device is not properly zero-initialized isactually wrong: Only raw images have this problem. Any other image formatshouldn't care about it, they initialize everything properly themselves....
Make default invocation of block drivers safer (v3)
CVE-2008-2004 described a vulnerability in QEMU whereas a malicious user couldtrick the block probing code into accessing arbitrary files in a guest. Tomitigate this, we added an explicit format parameter to -drive which disabling...
block: separate raw images from the file protocol
We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, whichis used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system....
block: Open the underlying image file in generic code
Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but ratherjust get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patchintroduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which...
