dpdk: sending vhost-user-inflight type messages could lead to DoS

Published Aug 29, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in dpdk. This flaw allows a malicious vhost-user master to attach an unexpected number of fds as ancillary data to VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD / VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD messages that are not closed by the vhost-user slave. By sending such messages continuously, the vhost-user master exhausts available fd in the vhost-user slave process, leading to a denial of service.
