If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a3641631d14571242eec0d30c9faa786cbf52d44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 01:22:07 -0700 Subject: KVM: cpuid: Fix read/write out-of-bounds vulnerability in cpuid emulation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit a3641631d14571242eec0d30c9faa786cbf52d44 upstream. If "i" is the last element in the vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array, it potentially can be exploited the vulnerability. this will out-of-bounds read and write. Luckily, the effect is small: /* when no next entry is found, the current entry[i] is reselected */ for (j = i + 1; ; j = (j + 1) % nent) { struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 *ej = &vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[j]; if (ej->function == e->function) { It reads ej->maxphyaddr, which is user controlled. However... ej->flags |= KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATE_READ_NEXT; After cpuid_entries there is int maxphyaddr; struct x86_emulate_ctxt emulate_ctxt; /* 16-byte aligned */ So we have: - cpuid_entries at offset 1B50 (6992) - maxphyaddr at offset 27D0 (6992 + 3200 = 10192) - padding at 27D4...27DF - emulate_ctxt at 27E0 And it writes in the padding. Pfew, writing the ops field of emulate_ctxt would have been much worse. This patch fixes it by modding the index to avoid the out-of-bounds access. Worst case, i == j and ej->function == e->function, the loop can bail out.
