In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/vdpa: validate virtqueue index in mmap and fault paths
vhost_vdpa_mmap() and vhost_vdpa_fault() use vma->vm_pgoff as a
virtqueue index for get_vq_notification(), but they do not validate
that the index is smaller than v->nvqs.
The ioctl path already performs both a bounds check and
array_index_nospec(), but the mmap/fault path only checks that the
index fits in u16. This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach
driver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks.
Fix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification()
helper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies
array_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback. Both the
mmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is
consolidated into a single location.
From source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds
access in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN
remaps and crash/DoS.
