[PATCH net] vhost/net: fix heads usage of ubuf_info

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2013-03-17 12:45:57
Also in: kvm, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

ubuf info allocator uses guest controlled head as an index,
so a malicious guest could put the same head entry in the ring twice,
and we will get two callbacks on the same value.
To fix use upend_idx which is guaranteed to be unique.

Rusty's working on switching to allocating ubufs dynamically
but that's not 3.9 material.
This patch is against latest net master,
needed for 3.9-rc2 and older kernels.
