Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hw/cxl: add missing bounds checks in Set Feature for PPR and sparing
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:07:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416200702.2374709-3-git@aaronesau.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416200702.2374709-1-git@aaronesau.com>
From: Aaron Esau <aaron1esau@gmail.com>
cmd_features_set_feature() is missing bounds validation on the offset and
data length for several feature UUIDs before their memcpy calls. The
patrol_scrub and ecs cases correctly check:
if ((uint32_t)hdr->offset + bytes_to_copy >
sizeof(ct3d->..._wr_attrs))
return CXL_MBOX_INVALID_PAYLOAD_LENGTH;
But the soft_ppr, hard_ppr, cacheline_sparing, row_sparing,
bank_sparing, and rank_sparing cases are missing this check. Since
bytes_to_copy is derived from the full mailbox payload length (up to
2048 bytes) and the write-attribute structs are only a few bytes each,
a guest can overflow into adjacent CXLType3Dev fields.
Add the same bounds check pattern to all six affected feature handlers.
