What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: bound interrupt-vector register fill to the allocated array

idpf_get_reg_intr_vecs() fills the caller-allocated reg_vals[] array from

the VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply in adapter->req_vec_chunks, bounding

its inner loop only by the per-chunk num_vectors. The array is sized

separately: idpf_intr_reg_init() allocates

kzalloc_objs(struct idpf_vec_regs, total_vecs) from

caps.num_allocated_vectors and only checks the returned count after the

fill. The sum of per-chunk num_vectors is never reconciled against

total_vecs, so a reply with a small num_allocated_vectors but chunks

summing higher writes past the end of reg_vals[].

Impact: a control plane (a PF or hypervisor device model) that returns a

VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply whose per-chunk num_vectors sum exceeds

num_allocated_vectors writes struct idpf_vec_regs entries past the end of

the reg_vals kmalloc allocation (KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write).

Bound the fill loop to the array capacity passed in by the callers,

mirroring the sibling idpf_vport_get_q_reg(). The existing

num_regs < num_vecs check then rejects an undersized reply without the

out-of-bounds write happening first.
