Message-ID: <2026090352-cage-storage-a216@gregkh> (raw)
The patch below does not apply to the 6.18-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Fix PMU event info array size overflow
SBI PMU EVENT_GET_INFO stores guest-controlled num_events * sizeof(*einfo)
in a 32-bit integer. On RV64, num_events = 0x10000001 makes 0x100000010
truncate to 16. KVM then allocates one entry but loops over the original
num_events, causing out-of-bounds reads and writes. A nested guest
triggered:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kvm_riscv_vcpu_pmu_event_info+0xa4/0x142
Read of size 4 at addr ff600000074d46b0 by task init/1
Call Trace:

kvm_riscv_vcpu_exit+0x48c/0x540
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x37e/0xc80
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 16-byte region [ff600000074d46a0, ff600000074d46b0)
Store the shared-memory size in size_t and reject multiplication overflow.
Allocate the guest-driven array with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so it is charged
to kmemcg, and use __GFP_NOWARN to suppress allocation failure warnings.
Use kvcalloc() to allow vmalloc fallback and an unsigned long loop index
to match num_events.
