How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio: packed: fix unmap leak for indirect desc table

When use_dma_api and premapped are true, then the do_unmap is false.

Because the do_unmap is false, vring_unmap_extra_packed is not called by detach_buf_packed.

if (unlikely(vq->do_unmap)) { curr = id; for (i = 0; i < state->num; i++) { vring_unmap_extra_packed(vq, &vq->packed.desc_extra[curr]); curr = vq->packed.desc_extra[curr].next; } }

So the indirect desc table is not unmapped. This causes the unmap leak.

So here, we check vq->use_dma_api instead. Synchronously, dma info is updated based on use_dma_api judgment

This bug does not occur, because no driver use the premapped with indirect.
