This requires reusing +vring descriptors in more than one request, which is incorrect but +possible. Processing a request allocates a VirtQueueElement and +therefore causes unbounded memory allocation controlled by the guest. + +Exit with an error if the guest provides more requests than the +virtqueue size permits. This bounds memory allocation and makes the +buggy guest visible to the user. + +Reported-by: Zhenhao Hong <zhenhaohong@gmail.com> +Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> +--- + hw/virtio.c | 5 +++++ + 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/hw/virtio.c b/hw/virtio.c +index c26feff..42897bf 100644 +--- a/hw/virtio.c ++++ b/hw/virtio.c +@@ -421,6 +421,11 @@ int virtqueue_pop(VirtQueue *vq, VirtQueueElement *elem) + /* When we start there are none of either input nor output. */ + elem->out_num = elem->in_num = 0; + ++ if (vq->inuse >= vq->vring.num) { ++ fprintf(stderr, "Virtqueue size exceeded"); ++ exit(1); ++ } ++ + i = head = virtqueue_get_head(vq, vq->last_avail_idx++); + do { + struct iovec *sg; +-- +2.1.4 + |
