+Subject: [PATCH] virtio: error out if guest exceeds virtqueue size
+
+A broken or malicious guest can submit more requests than the virtqueue
+size permits, causing unbounded memory allocation in QEMU.
+
+The guest can submit requests without bothering to wait for completion
+and is therefore not bound by virtqueue size. This requires reusing
+vring descriptors in more than one request, which is not allowed by the
+VIRTIO 1.0 specification.
+
+In "3.2.1 Supplying Buffers to The Device", the VIRTIO 1.0 specification
+says:
+
+ 1. The driver places the buffer into free descriptor(s) in the
+ descriptor table, chaining as necessary
+
+and
+
+ Note that the above code does not take precautions against the
+ available ring buffer wrapping around: this is not possible since the
+ ring buffer is the same size as the descriptor table, so step (1) will
+ prevent such a condition.
+
+This implies that placing more buffers into the virtqueue than the
+descriptor table size is not allowed.
+
+QEMU is missing the check to prevent this case. Processing a request
+allocates a VirtQueueElement leading to unbounded memory allocation
+controlled by the guest.
+
+Exit with an error if the guest provides more requests than the
+virtqueue size permits. This bounds memory allocation and makes the
+buggy guest visible to the user.
+
+This patch fixes CVE-2016-5403 and was reported by Zhenhao Hong from 360
+Marvel Team, China.
