CVE-2019-3900

Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS

Published Apr 25, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS 4.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario.
