<id>urn:sha1:e86a7794620a589212636e0f370c98c451c7f065</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 060423bfdee3f8bc6e2c1bac97de24d5415e2bc4 upstream.

The code assumes log_num &lt; in_num everywhere, and that is true as long as
in_num is incremented by descriptor iov count, and log_num by 1. However
this breaks if there's a zero sized descriptor.

As a result, if a malicious guest creates a vring desc with desc.len = 0,
it may cause the host kernel to crash by overflowing the log array. This
bug can be triggered during the VM migration.

There's no need to log when desc.len = 0, so just don't increment log_num
in this case.

commit 264b563b8675771834419057cbe076c1a41fb666 upstream.

Since vhost_exceeds_weight() was introduced, callers need to specify
the packet weight and byte weight in vhost_dev_init(). Note that, the
packet weight isn't counted in this patch to keep the original behavior
unchanged.

[ Upstream commit 098eadce3c622c07b328d0a43dda379b38cf7c5e ]

Vhost_net was known to suffer from HOL[1] issues which is not easy to
fix. Several downstream disable the feature by default. What's more,
the datapath was split and datacopy path got the support of batching
and XDP support recently which makes it faster than zerocopy part for
small packets transmission.

It looks to me that disable zerocopy by default is more
appropriate. It cold be enabled by default again in the future if we
fix the above issues.

This patch will check the weight and exit the loop if we exceeds the

which is guest triggerable.

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

This patch will check the weight and exit the loop if we exceeds the
weight. This is useful for preventing vsock kthread from hogging cpu
which is guest triggerable. The weight can help to avoid starving the
request from on direction while another direction is being processed.

The value of weight is picked from vhost-net.

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

<title>vhost_net: fix possible infinite loop</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e2412c07f8f3040593dfb88207865a3cd58680c0</id>
<content type='text'>
When the rx buffer is too small for a packet, we will discard the vq
descriptor and retry it for the next packet:

while ((sock_len = vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len(net, sock-&gt;sk,
					      &amp;busyloop_intr))) {
...
	/* On overrun, truncate and discard */
	if (unlikely(headcount &gt; UIO_MAXIOV)) {
		iov_iter_init(&amp;msg.msg_iter, READ, vq-&gt;iov, 1, 1);
		err = sock-&gt;ops-&gt;recvmsg(sock, &amp;msg,
					 1, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC);
		pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: len %zd\n", sock_len);
		continue;
	}
...
}

This makes it possible to trigger a infinite while..continue loop
through the co-opreation of two VMs like:

1) Malicious VM1 allocate 1 byte rx buffer and try to slow down the
   vhost process as much as possible e.g using indirect descriptors or
   other.
2) Malicious VM2 generate packets to VM1 as fast as possible

Fixing this by checking against weight at the end of RX and TX
loop. This also eliminate other similar cases when:

- userspace is consuming the packets in the meanwhile
- theoretical TOCTOU attack if guest moving avail index back and forth
  to hit the continue after vhost find guest just add new buffers

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

We used to have vhost_exceeds_weight() for vhost-net to:

- prevent vhost kthread from hogging the cpu
- balance the time spent between TX and RX

This function could be useful for vsock and scsi as well. So move it
to vhost.c. Device must specify a weight which counts the number of
requests, or it can also specific a byte_weight which counts the
number of bytes that has been processed.
