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.
