2012-04-23 23:51:25 John Johansen description Placeholder Currently we do not validate the vector length before calling get_user_pages_fast(), host stack could be easily overflowed by malicious guest driver who gives us a descriptors with length greater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to induce stack overflow on the host with attacker non-controlled data (some bits can be guessed, as it will be pointers to kernel memory) but with attacker controlled length.
