Subject: [PATCH v2] vhost/vdpa: reject VRING_NUM larger than device max
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 19:24:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808112458.101616-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)

vhost_vring_set_num() only requires a non-zero power-of-two that fits
in 16 bits. vhost-vdpa then hands that value to the backend through
set_vq_num() without comparing it to get_vq_num_max().

A local process with access to /dev/vhost-vdpa-* can therefore set a
queue size larger than the device advertises. On the vdpa_sim backend,
the worker then walks descriptors beyond the mapped descriptor ring.
KASAN reports a 16-byte out-of-bounds read, corresponding to one
vring_desc, in the vringh IOTLB path:

  BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in _copy_from_iter
  Read of size 16
  copy_from_iotlb
  copydesc_iotlb
  vringh_getdesc_iotlb
  vdpasim_net_work

Check the requested size against get_vq_num_max() in
vhost_vdpa_vring_ioctl() before calling vhost_vring_ioctl(), and return
-EINVAL when the request is too large.

Fixes: 4c8cf31885f6 ("vhost: introduce vDPA-based backend")
