vhost_net: fix possible infinite loop commit e2412c07f8f3040593dfb88207865a3cd58680c0 upstream. When the rx buffer is too small for a packet, we will discard the vq descriptor and retry it for the next packet: while ((sock_len = vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len(net, sock->sk, &busyloop_intr))) { ... /* On overrun, truncate and discard */ if (unlikely(headcount > UIO_MAXIOV)) { iov_iter_init(&msg.msg_iter, READ, vq->iov, 1, 1); err = sock->ops->recvmsg(sock, &msg, 1, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC); pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: len %zd\n", sock_len); continue; } ... } This makes it possible to trigger a infinite while..continue loop through the co-opreation of two VMs like: 1) Malicious VM1 allocate 1 byte rx buffer and try to slow down the vhost process as much as possible e.g using indirect descriptors or other. 2) Malicious VM2 generate packets to VM1 as fast as possible Fixing this by checking against weight at the end of RX and TX loop. This also eliminate other similar cases when: - userspace is consuming the packets in the meanwhile - theoretical TOCTOU attack if guest moving avail index back and forth to hit the continue after vhost find guest just add new buffers This addresses CVE-2019-3900.
