Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries
In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.
Call Trace:

To fix this, do two things:
1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
a range with size 0.
2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
by splitting it into two entries.
En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: vhost: corrige el hilo colgado debido a entradas erróneas de iotlb En vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), el tamaño del rango puede desbordarse a 0 cuando el inicio es 0 y el último es ULONG_MAX. Un caso en el que puede suceder es cuando el espacio de usuario envía un mensaje IOTLB con iova=size=uaddr=0 (vhost_process_iotlb_msg). Entonces, una entrada con tamaño = 0, inicio = 0, último = ULONG_MAX termina en iotlb. La próxima vez que se envíe un paquete, iotlb_access_ok() se repite indefinidamente debido a esa entrada errónea.

Devuelva -EINVAL en vhost_chr_write_iter() cuando el espacio de usuario solicite asignar un rango con tamaño 0. 2. Corrija vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() para manejar el rango [0, ULONG_MAX] dividiéndolo en dos entradas.
