Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: validate RSS indirections_len in post_load
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 21:15:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323131531.1976-1-junjie.cao@intel.com> (raw)

virtio_net_handle_rss() enforces that indirections_len is a non-zero
power of two no larger than VIRTIO_NET_RSS_MAX_TABLE_LEN, but
virtio_net_rss_post_load() applies none of these checks to values
restored from the migration stream.

A crafted migration stream can set indirections_len to 0.  Even if it
also clears redirect, virtio_load() calls set_features_nocheck() after
the device vmstate (including the RSS subsection and its post_load) has
already been loaded, re-deriving redirect from the negotiated guest
features.  When VIRTIO_NET_F_RSS was negotiated, redirect is set back
to true regardless of the migration stream value.  The receive path
then computes

    hash & (indirections_len - 1)   /* wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF via int promotion */

and uses the result to index into indirections_table, which was not
allocated by the VMState loader when the element count is zero (see
vmstate_handle_alloc()), resulting in a NULL pointer dereference that
crashes QEMU:

  #0  virtio_net_process_rss    ../hw/net/virtio-net.c:1901
  #1  virtio_net_receive_rcu    ../hw/net/virtio-net.c:1921
  #2  virtio_net_do_receive     ../hw/net/virtio-net.c:2061
  #3  nc_sendv_compat           ../net/net.c:823
  #4  qemu_deliver_packet_iov   ../net/net.c:870

The RSS subsection is only loaded when rss_data.enabled is true (via
virtio_net_rss_needed()), and the command path always produces
indirections_len in {1, 2, 4, …, 128}, so an unconditional check
cannot reject a legitimate migration stream.
