[PATCH 5.4 89/92] xen/netfront: dont read data from request on the ring page

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 29 2021 - 17:43:50 EST


From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

commit 162081ec33c2686afa29d91bf8d302824aa846c7 upstream.

In order to avoid a malicious backend being able to influence the local
processing of a request build the request locally first and then copy
it to the ring page. Any reading from the request influencing the
processing in the frontend needs to be done on the local instance.
