[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/8] vhost: input validation enhancements

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

This patch series addresses missing input validation that I came across when
reviewing vhost_user.c.

The first patch explains the security model and the rest fixes places with
missing checks.

Now is a good time to discuss the security model if anyone disagrees or has
questions about what Patch 1 says.

Stefan Hajnoczi (8):
  vhost: add security model documentation to vhost_user.c
  vhost: avoid enum fields in VhostUserMsg
  vhost: validate untrusted memory.nregions field
  vhost: clear out unused SCM_RIGHTS file descriptors
  vhost: reject invalid log base mmap_offset values
  vhost: fix msg->payload union typo in vhost_user_set_vring_addr()
  vhost: validate virtqueue size
  vhost: check for memory_size + mmap_offset overflow
