Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
gve: Fix stats report corruption on queue count change<br />
<br />
The driver and the NIC share a region in memory for stats reporting.<br />
The NIC calculates its offset into this region based on the total size<br />
of the stats region and the size of the NIC&#39;s stats.<br />
<br />
When the number of queues is changed, the driver&#39;s stats region is<br />
resized. If the queue count is increased, the NIC can write past<br />
the end of the allocated stats region, causing memory corruption.<br />
If the queue count is decreased, there is a gap between the driver<br />
and NIC stats, leading to incorrect stats reporting.<br />
<br />
This change fixes the issue by allocating stats region with maximum<br />
size, and the offset calculation for NIC stats is changed to match<br />
with the calculation of the NIC.
