CVE-2026-74312
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/vdpa: validate virtqueue index in mmap and fault paths
vhost_vdpa_mmap() and vhost_vdpa_fault() use vma->vm_pgoff as a virtqueue index for get_vq_notification(), but they do not validate that the index is smaller than v->nvqs.
The ioctl path already performs both a bounds check and array_index_nospec(), but the mmap/fault path only checks that the index fits in u16. This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach driver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks.
Fix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification() helper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies array_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Both the mmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is consolidated into a single location.
From source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds access in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN remaps and crash/DoS.
