"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvirtio_net: Fix resize of the RX ring\n\nWhen a AF_XDP socket is attached, the virtnet_rx_resize\nshould resize the rq->xsk_buffs XSK buffer array. Otherwise,\nwhen the size grows, the virtnet_rx_resume() causes a write\npast the end of the array. This is easily reproducable with\n\n ethtool -G ens3 rx 32\n ./xdpsock -i eth0 -q 0 -r -z &\n ethtool -G eth0 rx 256"

"value": "AV:L - The overflow is driven by ring->rx_pending passed to virtnet_set_ringparam() from SIOCETHTOOL ETHTOOL_SRINGPARAM (ethtool_set_ringparam) or ETHTOOL_MSG_RINGS_SET (ethnl_set_rings), after virtnet_xsk_pool_enable() sized rq->xsk_buffs from AF_XDP bind(); received packets never supply the new vring length.\nAC:L - The reporter's sequence (ethtool -G rx 32, xdpsock -z, ethtool -G rx 256) deterministically grows the vring while leaving xsk_buffs at the old size; virtnet_rx_resume()->try_fill_recv()->virtnet_add_recvbuf_xsk() then passes rq->vq->num_free to xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). The attacker controls both sizes and the UMEM fill ring; there is no race.\nPR:L - ETHTOOL_MSG_RINGS_SET is GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (netlink_ns_capable CAP_NET_ADMIN) and the ioctl path checks ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN); AF_XDP socket() checks ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) in xsk_create(). Both are available in a user-owned netns that holds the virtio_net device, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker themselves issues the ethtool ring-resize ioctl/netlink and bind()s the AF_XDP zero-copy socket (xdpsock -z) that calls virtnet_xsk_pool_enable(); no separate victim action such as mounting media is required.\nS:U - virtnet_add_recvbuf_xsk() overflows rq->xsk_buffs in the same kernel that hosts the virtio_net frontend. That is guest-kernel heap corruption, not a KVM/vhost guest-to-host escape or IOMMU bypass.\nC:H - After virtqueue_resize(), xsk_buff_alloc_batch() writes up to the new vring's num_free xdp_buff* values past the old xsk_buffs kvzalloc, corrupting adjacent heap objects with kernel pointers that can be turned into an arbitrary read.\nI:H - The same out-of-bounds xdp_buff* write, and the virtqueue_add_inbuf_premapped() loop that then consumes xsk_buffs[i] through that overflowed range, is kernel heap corruption usable for an arbitrary write or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The heap overflow in virtnet_add_recvbuf_xsk() during virtnet_rx_resume() after virtqueue_resize() is a kernel memory-safety violation that oopses or panics even without a full exploit, matching the commit's write-past-end."
