In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/IOV: Skip VF Resizable BAR restore on read error
sriov_restore_vf_rebar_state() uses the VF Resizable BAR Control register
to decide how many VF BARs to restore (nbars) and which VF BAR each
iteration addresses (bar_idx). bar_idx indexes into dev->sriov->barsz[],
which has only PCI_SRIOV_NUM_BARS (6) entries.
When a device does not respond, config reads typically return
PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE (~0). Both fields are 3 bits wide, so nbars and bar_idx
both evaluate to 7. The barsz[] access then goes out of bounds. UBSAN
reports this as:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/pci/iov.c:948:51 index 7 is out of range for type 'resource_size_t [6]'
Observed on an NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 GPU (GB207GLM) that stopped responding
during a failed GC6 power state exit. The subsequent pci_restore_state()
invoked sriov_restore_vf_rebar_state() while config reads returned
0xffffffff, triggering the splat.
Bail out if any VF Resizable BAR Control read returns PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE.
No further VF BARs are touched, which is safe because a config read that
returns PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE indicates the device is unreachable and
restoration is pointless. This mirrors the guard in
pci_restore_rebar_state().
