Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vsock/virtio: fix potential underflow in virtio_transport_get_credit()<br />
<br />
The credit calculation in virtio_transport_get_credit() uses unsigned<br />
arithmetic:<br />
<br />
ret = vvs->peer_buf_alloc - (vvs->tx_cnt - vvs->peer_fwd_cnt);<br />
<br />
If the peer shrinks its advertised buffer (peer_buf_alloc) while bytes<br />
are in flight, the subtraction can underflow and produce a large<br />
positive value, potentially allowing more data to be queued than the<br />
peer can handle.<br />
<br />
Reuse virtio_transport_has_space() which already handles this case and<br />
add a comment to make it clear why we are doing that.<br />
<br />
[Stefano: use virtio_transport_has_space() instead of duplicating the code]<br />
[Stefano: tweak the commit message]
