There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel-doc.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
