Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. A flawed bounds checking in the copydata function leads to a buffer overflow allowing an attacker in a virtual machine to write arbitrary data to any address in the vhostcrypto application. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. A lack of bounds checking when copying ivdata from the VM guest memory into host memory can lead to a large buffer overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. Virtio ring descriptors, and the data they describe are in a region of memory accessible by from both the virtual machine and the host. An attacker in a VM can change the contents of the memory after vhostcrypto has validated it. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in the vhost library in DPDK. Function vhostusersetinflightfd() does not validate msg->payload.inflight.numqueues, possibly causing out-of-bounds memory read/write. Any software using DPDK vhost library may crash as a result of this vulnerability.

A flaw was found in all dpdk version 17.x.x before 17.11.8, 16.x.x before 16.11.10, 18.x.x before 18.11.4 and 19.x.x before 19.08.1 where a malicious master, or a container with access to vhostuser socket, can send specially crafted VRINGSETNUM messages, resulting in a memory leak including file descriptors. This flaw could lead to a denial of service condition.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. A complete lack of validation of attacker-controlled parameters can lead to a buffer over read. The results of the over read are then written back to the guest virtual machine memory. This vulnerability can be used by an attacker in a virtual machine to read significant amounts of host memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system availability.

A vulnerability was fixed in DPDK.

Some downstream stakeholders were warned in advance through security-prerelease () dpdk org in order to coordinate the release of fixes and reduce the vulnerability window [0].

A malicious guest using a virtio driver can cause the vhost-user side to crash by sending a packet with a Tx checksum offload request and an invalid csumstart offset.
