virtio: fix reachable assertion due to stale value of cached region size
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In virtqueue_{split,packed}_get_avail_bytes() descriptors are read
in a loop via MemoryRegionCache regions and calls to
vring_{split,packed}_desc_read() - these take a region cache and the
index of the descriptor to be read.

For direct descriptors we use a cache provided by the caller, whose
size matches that of the virtqueue vring. We limit the number of
descriptors we can read by the size of that vring:

    max = vq->vring.num;
    ...
    MemoryRegionCache *desc_cache = &caches->desc;

For indirect descriptors, we initialize a new cache and limit the
number of descriptors by the size of the intermediate descriptor:

    len = address_space_cache_init(&indirect_desc_cache,
                                   vdev->dma_as,
                                   desc.addr, desc.len, false);
    desc_cache = &indirect_desc_cache;
    ...
    max = desc.len / sizeof(VRingDesc);

However, the first initialization of `max` is done outside the loop
where we process guest descriptors, while the second one is done
inside. This means that a sequence of an indirect descriptor followed
by a direct one will leave a stale value in `max`. If the second
descriptor's `next` field is smaller than the stale value, but
greater than the size of the virtqueue ring (and thus the cached
region), a failed assertion will be triggered in
address_space_read_cached() down the call chain.

Fix this by initializing `max` inside the loop in both functions.
