Title
vhost: move vdpa group bound check to vhost_vdpa
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost: move vdpa group bound check to vhost_vdpa
Remove duplication by consolidating these here. This reduces the
posibility of a parent driver missing them.
While we're at it, fix a bug in vdpa_sim where a valid ASID can be
assigned to a group equal to ngroups, causing an out of bound write.

Choosing the higher severity option, this is Low rather than High.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed; the local attacker directly opens the device, becomes vhost owner, and issues the ioctl.\nS:U - The impact is corruption of host kernel memory from a local host device interface, which is a standard kernel privilege/security-domain impact rather than a VM escape or separate authority crossing.\nC:H - The missing group bound permits out-of-bounds kernel heap access in the parent set_group_asid path, and such memory corruption can reasonably be developed into kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The bug permits an out-of-bounds kernel write of ASID/group state or adjacent locking/state fields, making kernel memory corruption and potential control-flow or privilege manipulation plausible.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the out-of-bounds write can corrupt kernel heap state and can reasonably crash or panic the kernel."

Choosing the higher severity option, this is Low rather than High.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed; the local attacker directly opens the device, becomes vhost owner, and issues the ioctl.\nS:U - The impact is corruption of host kernel memory from a local host device interface, which is a standard kernel privilege/security-domain impact rather than a VM escape or separate authority crossing.\nC:H - The missing group bound permits out-of-bounds kernel heap access in the parent set_group_asid path, and such memory corruption can reasonably be developed into kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The bug permits an out-of-bounds kernel write of ASID/group state or adjacent locking/state fields, making kernel memory corruption and potential control-flow or privilege manipulation plausible.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the out-of-bounds write can corrupt kernel heap state and can reasonably crash or panic the kernel."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
