This is a simple missing initialization

multifd_send_initial_packet has a local variable:

    MultiFDInit_t msg;

the code initializes 4 fields, but does *not* initialize the 2
padding fields, so we're writing random data. Harmless as the
receiving end will ignore padding too, but we should fill with
zeros really. so

    MultiFDInit_t msg = {0};

should fix it.

multifd_send_fill_packet is getting the oob write in:

    for (i = 0; i < p->pages->used; i++) {
        packet->offset[i] = cpu_to_be64(p->pages->offset[i]);
    }

offset is a variable length struct field at the end of MultiFDPacket_t:

  typedef struct {
     ...snip...
    char ramblock[256];
    uint64_t offset[];
  } __attribute__((packed)) MultiFDPacket_t;

but the packet data is allocated back in multifd_save_setup using:

        p->packet_len = sizeof(MultiFDPacket_t)
                      + sizeof(ram_addr_t) * page_count;
        p->packet = g_malloc0(p->packet_len);


Notice the field in the struct is "uint64_t" but the length we're
allocating is "ram_addr_t".

Since this is a 32-bit build, I'm guessing ram_addr_t is a 32-bit
integer and thus we're under-allocating the variable length offset
field by half

Daniel
