[PATCH 4.9 27/31] xen/blkfront: harden blkfront against event channel storms

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

 



From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

commit 0fd08a34e8e3b67ec9bd8287ac0facf8374b844a upstream.

The Xen blkfront driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive
number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using lateeoi event
channels.

This is part of XSA-391
