[PATCH net] iavf: validate num_vsis in VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES response
From: Junrui Luo
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 04:56:01 EST
The VF allocates a fixed-size buffer for IAVF_MAX_VF_VSI (3) VSI
entries when processing a VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES response from
the PF. However, num_vsis from the PF response is used unchecked as
the loop bound when iterating over vsi_res[] in multiple functions.
A PF sending num_vsis greater than IAVF_MAX_VF_VSI leads to
out-of-bounds accesses on the vsi_res[] array.
Clamp num_vsis to IAVF_MAX_VF_VSI in iavf_validate_num_queues(),
following the same pattern already used for num_queue_pairs.
