kvmtool: virtio MMIO notify_write access can schedule a job with an OOB struct

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

 



Doing a notify_write access with a whatever pci device leads to an OOB
access in the device.jobs array, by crafting a fake thread_pool__job
struct it is possible to obtain RIP hijacking, allowing a guest user
to execute arbitrary code in the host.
Index validation in virtio_device.ops.notify_vq should be done as in
other COMMON read and write functions.
I am willing to discuss details and provide an exploit in order to
help patching and register the CVE.
