From 82f9028e83944a9eee5229cbc6fee9be1de8a62d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bui Quang Minh Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 07:06:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: fix received length check in big packets [ Upstream commit 0c716703965ffc5ef4311b65cb5d84a703784717 ] Since commit 4959aebba8c0 ("virtio-net: use mtu size as buffer length for big packets"), when guest gso is off, the allocated size for big packets is not MAX_SKB_FRAGS * PAGE_SIZE anymore but depends on negotiated MTU. The number of allocated frags for big packets is stored in vi->big_packets_num_skbfrags. Because the host announced buffer length can be malicious (e.g. the host vhost_net driver's get_rx_bufs is modified to announce incorrect length), we need a check in virtio_net receive path. Currently, the check is not adapted to the new change which can lead to NULL page pointer dereference in the below while loop when receiving length that is larger than the allocated one. This commit fixes the received length check corresponding to the new change.
