Subject: [PATCH net] virtio_net: reject stats replies for queues outside the request
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 03:26:58 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022182710.2055771-1-karin0.zst@gmail.com> (raw)
__virtnet_get_hw_stats() passes the vq_index of each record in the
device's statistics reply to virtnet_fill_stats() without checking it,
so the device decides where the driver writes the counters.
For ethtool -S, virtnet_fill_stats() uses vq_index as an offset into the
output array, which the ethtool core sized for curr_queue_pairs. A
record with the vq_index of a higher queue makes the driver write past
the end of the array.
For the per-queue netlink stats, the queue type also comes from
vq_index. A receive record in reply to a request for a transmit queue
makes the driver fill the struct netdev_queue_stats_tx on the stack as
if it were a struct netdev_queue_stats_rx. If the device offers
VIRTIO_NET_STATS_TYPE_RX_SPEED, this writes one counter to the eight
bytes after the tx struct.
Fix this by rejecting the reply when the vq_index of a record lies
outside the range of queues the request asked about.
Claude Opus 5.5 was used to review the driver code and draft this patch.
To reproduce, the virtio-net device in QEMU was modified to answer an
ethtool -S request on a one-pair device with a record for a receive
queue the device does not have. On an unmodified kernel, KASAN then
reports a write past the ethtool -S output array. With this patch, the
driver rejects the same reply with "Failed to get hw stats.", a
well-formed reply fills the statistics as before, and the
drivers/net/stats.py selftest passes.
Fixes: 941168f8b40e ("virtio_net: support device stats")
Fixes: d888f04c09bb ("virtio-net: support queue stat")
