[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Validate MSI data before routing it to EIOINTC
Posted by Zeng Chi 4 weeks, 1 day ago
From: Zeng Chi <zengchi@kylinos.cn>

pch_msi_set_irq() passes e->msi.data straight into eiointc_set_irq() as
the irq number.  The MSI data comes from userspace, either via a
KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI entry set with KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING (used by irqfd
and KVM_IRQ_LINE) or directly via KVM_SIGNAL_MSI, and is never checked
against EIOINTC_IRQS.

eiointc_set_irq() uses the value with __set_bit()/__clear_bit() on the
256-bit isr bitmap, eiointc_update_irq() then indexes sw_coremap[] and
the per-cpu coreisr/sw_coreisr bitmaps with it.  A data value >= 256
therefore reads and writes memory past the end of those arrays, i.e.
any process holding a VM fd can corrupt kernel memory beyond the
loongarch_eiointc allocation.

Reject MSI data that doesn't fit in the EIOINTC irq space.  The DMSINTC
path is unaffected as it decodes the vector from the address and masks
it.

Thank you, Huacai, for applying the patch. I really appreciate your

Nice fix, thanks!

BTW, the NULL deref in pch_pic_update_irq() that Sashiko mentioned is
a pre-existing issue — it might be worth addressing in a separate
patch:
