[PATCH 0/7] KVM: Fix memslot use-after-free bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix a bug introduced by dynamic memslot allocation where the LRU slot can
become invalid and lead to a out-of-bounds/use-after-free scenario.

The patch is different that what Qian has already tested, but I was able
to reproduce the bad behavior by enhancing the set memory region selftest,
i.e. I'm relatively confident the bug is fixed.

Patches 2-6 are a variety of selftest cleanup, with the aforementioned
set memory region enhancement coming in patch 7.

Note, I couldn't get the selftest to fail outright or with KASAN, but was
able to hit a WARN_ON an invalid slot 100% of the time (without the fix,
obviously).

Regarding s390, I played around a bit with merging gfn_to_memslot_approx()
into search_memslots().  Code wise it's trivial since they're basically
identical, but doing so increases the code footprint of search_memslots()
on x86 by 30 bytes, so I ended up abandoning the effort.
