[PATCH 5.10 50/58] xen/netfront: dont use gnttab_query_foreign_access() for mapped status

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

 



From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

Commit 31185df7e2b1d2fa1de4900247a12d7b9c7087eb upstream.

It isn't enough to check whether a grant is still being in use by
calling gnttab_query_foreign_access(), as a mapping could be realized
by the other side just after having called that function.

In case the call was done in preparation of revoking a grant it is
better to do so via gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() and check the
success of that operation instead.

This is CVE-2022-23037 / part of XSA-396.
