There are 3 bugs in the qcow2 header extension parser:
1) Header extension padding not taken into account
Per qcow2 documentation (qemu.git/docs/interop/qcow2.txt, also now
mirrored in the comment explaining the parser) each header extension
entry is padded to a multiple of 8 bytes.
Our parser didn't take the padding into account and advanced the
current offset only by the 'length', which corresponds to the length
of the data.
This meant that in vast majority of cases only the first extension
would be parsed correctly. For any other one we'd try to fetch the
magic and length from wrong place.
Luckily this wasn't problem for most of the almost 15 years this bug
existed as we only cared about the backing file format string header
which was always stored first by qemu.
It is now a problem in the very specific case when a qcow2 image has a
'data-file' and also a backing store with format. In such case we'd
parse the backing store format properly as it's the first header and
'data-file' being the second would be skipped.
The buffer bounds checks were correct so we didn't violate any memory
boundaries.
2) Integer underflow in calculation of end of header extension block
If the image doesn't have a backing image, the 'backing_file_offset'
qcow2 header field is 0. We use that value as 'extensions_end' which
is used in the while loop to parse the extension entries.
The check was done as "offset < (extensions_end - 8)", thus it
unreflows when there's no filename.
The design of the loop prevented anything bad from happening though.
3) Off-by-one when determining end of header extension block
The aforementioned end of extension check above also has an off-by-one
error as it allowed another loop if more than 8 bytes were available.
Now the termination entry has data length of 0 bytes so we'd not be
able to properly process that one.
This wasn't a problem either as for now there's just the terminator
having 0 byte lenght.
This patch improves documentation by quoting the qcow2 interoperability
document and adjusts the loop condition and lenght handling to comply
with the specs.
Interestingly we also had a test case for this specific scenario but the
expected test output was wrong.

- * Traditionally QCow2 files had a layout of
- *
- * [header]
- * [backingStoreName]

- * Although the backingStoreName typically followed
- * the header immediately, this was not required by
- * the format. By specifying a higher byte offset for
- * the backing file offset in the header, it was
- * possible to leave space between the header and
- * start of backingStore.
- *
- * This hack is now used to store extensions to the
- * qcow2 format:
+ * QCow2 header extensions are stored directly after the header before
+ * the (optional) backing store filename:
*
* [header]
* [extensions]
* [backingStoreName]
*
- * Thus the file region to search for extensions is
- * between the end of the header (QCOW2_HDR_TOTAL_SIZE)
- * and the start of the backingStoreName (offset)
+ * For qcow2(v2) the [header] portion has a fixed size (QCOW2_HDR_TOTAL_SIZE),
+ * whereas for qcow2v3 the size of the header itself is recorded inside
+ * the header (at offset QCOW2v3_HDR_SIZE).
*
- * for qcow2 v3 images, the length of the header
- * is stored at QCOW2v3_HDR_SIZE
+ * Thus the file region to search for header extensions is
