This one is already backported in v18.02.1, as it was part of the CVE
series:

commit 92f155720d5911850898bac1526ba36d493cc666
Author: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin at redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Apr 19 15:28:35 2018 +0200

     vhost: fix indirect descriptors table translation size

     This patch fixes the size passed at the indirect descriptor
     table translation time, which is the len field of the descriptor,
     and not a single descriptor.

     This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-1059.

     Fixes: 62fdb8255ae7 ("vhost: use the guest IOVA to host VA helper")

     Signed-off-by: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin at redhat.com>

Cheers,
Maxime
