In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries

In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

Call Trace:

To fix this, do two things:

  1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
    a range with size 0.
  2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
    by splitting it into two entries.
