NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream driverctl package and not the driverctl package as distributed by Centos.

The DPDK vhost-user interface does not check to verify that all the requested guest physical range is mapped and contiguous when performing Guest Physical Addresses to Host Virtual Addresses translations. This may lead to a malicious guest exposing vhost-user backend process memory. All versions before 18.02.1 are vulnerable.
