+Subject: [PATCH] remote: Fix integer overflow in RPC handler for
+ virNodeGetFreePages (CVE-2026-18917)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+CVE-2026-18917
+
+The RPC handler 'remoteDispatchNodeGetFreePages' multiplies the 'npages'
+argument with the 'cellcount' argument passed to 'virNodeGetFreePages',
+both of which are declared as 'unsigned int' to both do an RPC limit
+check against the 'REMOTE_NODE_MAX_CELLS' constant and then to allocate
+the memory to hold the result from the actual hypervisor driver.
+
+Since both the values are 'unsigned int' the product is also unsigned
+int so big enough numbers can overflow, both passing the check and also
+allocating not enough memory for the result. The hypervisor driver
+assumes that the passed buffer is large enough and overwrites memory.
+
+When this happens the the hypervisor daemon crashes.
+
+This can be triggered e.g. by passing 1023 and 4198405 as values which
+multiply to 1019 after wrapping to 32 bit unsigned value.
+
+Use the VIR_INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW macro in the check to avoid the issue
+the same way as we do for other APIs doing multiplication of arguments
+to determine amount of required memory.
+
+Fixes: 34f2d0319d2098c77c8cc27d8350616029125a2b (v1.2.5-164-g34f2d0319d)
