Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> vsock/virtio: Validate length in packet header before skb_put()<br /> <br /> When receiving a vsock packet in the guest, only the virtqueue buffer<br /> size is validated prior to virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put(). Unfortunately,<br /> virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() uses the length from the packet header as the<br /> length argument to skb_put(), potentially resulting in SKB overflow if<br /> the host has gone wonky.<br /> <br /> Validate the length as advertised by the packet header before calling<br /> virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put().
