When a virtqueue size is changed by the guest via
virtio_queue_set_num(), its region cache is not automatically updated.
If the size was increased, this could lead to accessing the cache out
of bounds. For example, in vring_get_used_event():
static inline uint16_t vring_get_used_event(VirtQueue *vq)
{
return vring_avail_ring(vq, vq->vring.num);
}
static inline uint16_t vring_avail_ring(VirtQueue *vq, int i)
{
VRingMemoryRegionCaches *caches = vring_get_region_caches(vq);
hwaddr pa = offsetof(VRingAvail, ring[i]);
if (!caches) {
return 0;
}
return virtio_lduw_phys_cached(vq->vdev, &caches->avail, pa);
}
vq->vring.num will be greater than caches->avail.len, which will
trigger a failed assertion down the call path of
virtio_lduw_phys_cached().
