[PATCH] VSOCK: fix Integer Overflow in vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()
Posted by bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com 2 months ago 
From: Henry Martin <bsdhenryma@tencent.com>

The vulnerability is triggered when processing a malicious VMCI datagram
with an extremely large `payload_size` value. The attack path is:

1. Attacker crafts a malicious `vmci_datagram` with `payload_size` set
   to a value near `SIZE_MAX` (e.g., `SIZE_MAX - offsetof(struct
   vmci_datagram, payload) + 1`)
2. The function calculates: `size = VMCI_DG_SIZE(dg)` Where
   `VMCI_DG_SIZE(dg)` expands to `offsetof(struct vmci_datagram,
   payload) + dg->payload_size`
3. Integer overflow occurs during this addition, making `size` smaller
   than the actual datagram size

Fixes: d021c344051a ("VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets")

The struct vmci_datagram has no member 'payload'. Your patch may trigger 
compile error.

@Wang thanks for the highlight!

mmm, so this is the 3rd no-sense patch from the same author!

Last advice for the author, please fix your bot and try your patches 
before submitting it!
