xen: Missing NUMA node parameter verification (XSA-231)

Published Sep 12, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A parameter verification issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x. The function `alloc_heap_pages` allows callers to specify the first NUMA node that should be used for allocations through the `memflags` parameter; the node is extracted using the `MEMF_get_node` macro. While the function checks to see if the special constant `NUMA_NO_NODE` is specified, it otherwise does not handle the case where `node >= MAX_NUMNODES`. This allows an out-of-bounds access to an internal array.
