[v3,2/2] qga/win32: Use rundll for VSS installation

Commit Message

Konstantin Kostiuk March 3, 2023, 7:20 p.m. UTC

The custom action uses cmd.exe to run VSS Service installation
and removal which causes an interactive command shell to spawn.
This shell can be used to execute any commands as a SYSTEM user.
Even if call qemu-ga.exe directly the interactive command shell
will be spawned as qemu-ga.exe is a console application and used
by users from the console as well as a service.

As VSS Service runs from DLL which contains the installer and
uninstaller code, it can be run directly by rundll32.exe without
any interactive command shell.

Add specific entry points for rundll which is just a wrapper
for COMRegister/COMUnregister functions with proper arguments.

fixes: CVE-2023-0664 (part 2 of 2)
