Title
drm/hyperv: validate VMBus packet size in receive callback
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/hyperv: validate VMBus packet size in receive callback hyperv_receive_sub() reads msg->vid_hdr.type and dispatches into one of four message-type branches without knowing how many bytes the host wrote into hv->recv_buf. The completion path then runs memcpy(hv->init_buf, msg, VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE), so the consumer that wakes on wait_for_completion_timeout() can read up to 16 KiB of residue from a prior message as if it were the response payload. Pass bytes_recvd into hyperv_receive_sub() and reject any packet that does not cover the pipe + synthvid header. A single switch on msg->vid_hdr.type then computes the type-specific payload size: the three completion-driving types (SYNTHVID_VERSION_RESPONSE, SYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE, SYNTHVID_VRAM_LOCATION_ACK) fall through to a shared exit that requires that size before memcpy/complete, while SYNTHVID_FEATURE_CHANGE validates its own payload and returns before reading is_dirt_needed. Unknown types are dropped. SYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE is variable length: the host fills resolution_count entries, not the full SYNTHVID_MAX_RESOLUTION_COUNT array. Validate the fixed prefix first so resolution_count can be read, bound it against the array, then require only the count-sized array, so the shorter responses the host actually sends are accepted. Only run the sub-handler when vmbus_recvpacket() returned success. The memcpy length is bytes_recvd, which is bounded by VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE only on a successful receive; on -ENOBUFS vmbus_recvpacket() instead reports the required length, which can exceed hv->recv_buf, so copying bytes_recvd would read and write past the 16 KiB buffers. Gating on the success return keeps the copy bounded. The nonzero-return path is itself a malformed-message case and is now logged rather than silently skipped; channel recovery is not attempted. Rejected packets are reported via drm_err_ratelimited() rather than silently dropped, matching the CoCo-hardened pattern in hv_kvp_onchannelcallback().

The completion path then runs\nmemcpy(hv-\u003einit_buf, msg, VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE), so the consumer that\nwakes on wait_for_completion_timeout() can read up to 16 KiB of\nresidue from a prior message as if it were the response payload.\n\nPass bytes_recvd into hyperv_receive_sub() and reject any packet that\ndoes not cover the pipe + synthvid header. A single switch on\nmsg-\u003evid_hdr.type then computes the type-specific payload size: the\nthree completion-driving types (SYNTHVID_VERSION_RESPONSE,\nSYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE, SYNTHVID_VRAM_LOCATION_ACK) fall through\nto a shared exit that requires that size before memcpy/complete, while\nSYNTHVID_FEATURE_CHANGE validates its own payload and returns before\nreading is_dirt_needed. Unknown types are dropped.\n\nSYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE is variable length: the host fills\nresolution_count entries, not the full SYNTHVID_MAX_RESOLUTION_COUNT\narray. Validate the fixed prefix first so resolution_count can be\nread, bound it against the array, then require only the count-sized\narray, so the shorter responses the host actually sends are accepted.\n\nOnly run the sub-handler when vmbus_recvpacket() returned success. The\nmemcpy length is bytes_recvd, which is bounded by VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE\nonly on a successful receive; on -ENOBUFS vmbus_recvpacket() instead\nreports the required length, which can exceed hv-\u003erecv_buf, so copying\nbytes_recvd would read and write past the 16 KiB buffers. Gating on the\nsuccess return keeps the copy bounded. The nonzero-return path is itself\na malformed-message case and is now logged rather than silently skipped;\nchannel recovery is not attempted.\n\nRejected packets are reported via drm_err_ratelimited() rather than\nsilently dropped, matching the CoCo-hardened pattern in\nhv_kvp_onchannelcallback()."

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.

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.

  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
