Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Validate MSI data before routing it to EIOINTC
pch_msi_set_irq() passes e->msi.data straight into eiointc_set_irq() as
the irq number. The MSI data comes from userspace, that either via a
KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI entry set with KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING (used by irqfd
and KVM_IRQ_LINE) or directly via KVM_SIGNAL_MSI, and is never checked
against EIOINTC_IRQS.
eiointc_set_irq() uses the value with __set_bit()/__clear_bit() on the
256-bit isr bitmap, eiointc_update_irq() then indexes sw_coremap[] and
the per-cpu coreisr/sw_coreisr bitmaps with it. Therefore a data value
>= 256 reads and writes memory past the end of those arrays, i.e. any
process holding a VM fd can corrupt kernel memory beyond the allocation
of loongarch_eiointc.
Reject MSI data that doesn't fit in the EIOINTC irq space. The DMSINTC
path is unaffected as it decodes the vector from the address and masks
it.
