Good question, it is somewhat exploitable in the guest the way it's
written, however a user process does have an open file limit and each
eventfd consumes a file handle, so unless someone is running QEMU with
unlimited file handles, there is a built-in limit. Two problems remain
though:
First, is it still a bad idea that a user within a guest can target
this device page to consume all of the QEMU process' open file handles,
even if ultimately they're only harming themselves? What would a
reasonable cap of file descriptors for this purpose be? How would we
know which are actively used and which could be expired? Currently
only 2 are registered, the MSI-ACK address and some unknown secondary
one that's low frequency, but enough to trigger the algorithm here (and
doesn't seem harmful to let it get enabled). We could therefore
arbitrarily pick 5 as an upper limit here, maybe with a warning if the
code hits that limit.
Second, is there still an exploit in the proposed vfio interface that a
user could re-use a single file descriptor for multiple vfio
ioeventfds. I don't know. I thought about looking to see whether a
file descriptor is re-used, but then I wondered if that might actually
be kind of a neat and potentially useful interface that a single
eventfd could trigger multiple device writes. It looks like KVM
arbitrarily sets a limit of 1000 iobus devices, where each ioeventfd
would be such a device. Perhaps we take the same approach and pick an
arbitrary high upper limit per vfio device. What's your opinion?
Thanks,
Alex
