Subject: [PATCH] xen: grant-table: Check truncation when giving access to a frame
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:50:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465815046-5390-1-git-send-email-julien.grall@arm.com> (raw)

The version 1 of the grant-table protocol only supports frame encoded on
32-bit.

When the platform is supporting 48-bit physical address, the frame will
be encoded on 36-bit which will lead a truncation and give access to
the wrong frame.

On ARM Xen will always allow the guest to use all the physical address,
although today the RAM is always located under 40-bits (see
xen/include/public/arch-arm.h).

Add a truncation check in gnttab_update_entry_v1 to prevent the guest to
give access to the wrong frame.

    This is limiting us to a 44-bit address space whilst ARM can support
    up to 48-bit today. This number of bit will increase to 52-bit in
    upcoming processors [1].

    It might be good to start thinking to extend the version 1 of the
    protocol to use 64-bit frame number.
