Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/gntalloc: validate grant count before allocation
gntalloc_ioctl_alloc() allocates the grant-id array before checking
whether the requested count fits within the global grant limit. Counts
above that limit cannot succeed, so reject them before the
user-controlled allocation reaches kcalloc().
Use a subtraction-based check while holding gref_mutex so adding the
requested count cannot wrap. Also cast the count before advancing the
per-file index so the page-size multiplication is performed in 64-bit
arithmetic.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Xen grant allocation driver. A local user can exploit this vulnerability by submitting an excessively large grant allocation request before the driver validates it against global limits. This flaw allows excessive kernel memory consumption and integer wrapping, leading to system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS).
