    vhost_net: fix possible infinite loop · 5479b12b
    Jason Wang authored
    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.

    Fixes: 3a4d5c94 ("vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server")

    CVE-2019-3900
    
    (backported from commit e2412c07)
    [tyhicks: Backport to Xenial:
     - Adjust handle_tx() instead of handle_tx_{copy,zerocopy}() due to
       missing commit 0d20bdf3 ("vhost_net: split out datacopy logic")
     - Minor context adjustments due to a lack of missing the iov_limit
       member of the vhost_dev struct which was added later in commit
       b46a0bf7 ("vhost: fix OOB in get_rx_bufs()")
     - handle_rx() still uses peek_head_len() due to missing and unneeded commit
       03088137 ("vhost_net: basic polling support")
     - Context adjustment in call to vhost_log_write() in hunk #3 of net.c due to
       missing and unneeded commit cc5e7107 ("vhost: log dirty page correctly")
     - Context adjustment in hunk #4 due to using break instead of goto out
     - Context adjustment in hunk #5 due to missing and unneeded commit
