Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries

In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0 (vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0, last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent, iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

Call Trace:

iotlb_access_ok+0x21b/0x3e0 drivers/vhost/vhost.c:1340
vq_meta_prefetch+0xbc/0x280 drivers/vhost/vhost.c:1366

To fix this, do two things:

1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
a range with size 0. 2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
by splitting it into two entries.
