Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Improve create VCPU parameter
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:36:51 +0100
Message-Id: <1386880614-23300-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.8.3.1
Sender: stable-owner@vger.kernel.org

From: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com>
In multiple functions the vcpu_id is used as an offset into a bitfield. Ag
malicious user could specify a vcpu_id greater than 255 in order to set or
clear bits in kernel memory. This could be used to elevate priveges in the
kernel. This patch verifies that the vcpu_id provided is less than 255.
The api documentation already specifies that the vcpu_id must be less than
max_vcpus, but this is currently not checked.
