Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to the PV backend, the driver maps grant references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be discarded by later processing, resulting in the caller assuming successful mapping, and hence subsequent operations trying to access space that wasn't mapped. In another case, internal state would be insufficiently updated, preventing safe recovery from the error. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c.

Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones 3.11 hasta 5.10.16, como es usado Xen. Para atender las peticiones al backend de PV, los mapas de controladores otorgan referencias proporcionadas por el frontend. En este proceso, se pueden encontrar errores. En un caso, un error encontrado anteriormente podría descartarse mediante un procesamiento posterior, resultando en que la persona que llama asuma un mapeo exitoso y, por lo tanto, las operaciones posteriores intentan acceder al espacio que no fue asignado. En otro caso, el estado interno no se actualizaría lo suficiente, impidiendo una recuperación segura del error. Esto afecta al archivo drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c
