After batched used ring updating was introduced in commit e2b3b35eb989 ("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"). We tend to batch heads in vq->heads for more than one packet. But the quota passed to get_rx_bufs() was not correctly limited, which can result a OOB write in vq->heads. headcount = get_rx_bufs(vq, vq->heads + nvq->done_idx, vhost_len, &in, vq_log, &log, likely(mergeable) ? UIO_MAXIOV : 1); UIO_MAXIOV was still used which is wrong since we could have batched used in vq->heads, this will cause OOB if the next buffer needs more than 960 (1024 (UIO_MAXIOV) - 64 (VHOST_NET_BATCH)) heads after we've batched 64 (VHOST_NET_BATCH) heads: Acked-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-8k (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: 0x00000000fd93b7a2-0x00000000f0713384.

This is done through set the limitation through vhost_dev_init(), then set_owner can allocate the number of iov in a per device manner. This fixes CVE-2018-16880.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
