[PATCH net] vhost: validate vhost_get_vq_desc return value

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2014-03-27 10:53:20
Also in: kvm, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

vhost fails to validate negative error code
from vhost_get_vq_desc causing
a crash: we are using -EFAULT which is 0xfffffff2
as vector size, which exceeds the allocated size.

The code in question was introduced in commit
8dd014adfea6f173c1ef6378f7e5e7924866c923
    vhost-net: mergeable buffers support

CVE-2014-0055

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

This is needed in -stable.
