[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/6] vhost: check log mmap offset and size overflow

From: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin at redhat.com>

vhost_user_set_log_base() is a message handler that is
called to handle the VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE message.
Its payload contains a 64 bit size and offset. Both are
added up and used as a size when calling mmap().

There is no integer overflow check. If an integer overflow
occurs a smaller memory map would be created than
requested. Since the returned mapping is mapped as writable
and used for logging, a memory corruption could occur.

CVE-2020-10722
Fixes: fbc4d248b198 ("vhost: fix offset while mmaping log base address")
