Subject: [PATCH v2 4.19 2/3] KVM: do not allow mapping valid but non-reference-counted pages
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2021 11:29:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210727082924.2336367-2-ovidiu.panait@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210727082924.2336367-1-ovidiu.panait@windriver.com>

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

commit f8be156be163a052a067306417cd0ff679068c97 upstream.

It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted
pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These
host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family
of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1.
When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly.

Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero,
which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be
released with put_page).

This addresses CVE-2021-22543.
