In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: SVM: Fix page overflow in sev_dbg_crypt() for ENCRYPT path

In sev_dbg_crypt(), the per-iteration transfer length is bounded by
the source page offset (PAGE_SIZE - s_off) but not by the destination
page offset (PAGE_SIZE - d_off).  When d_off > s_off, the encrypt
path (__sev_dbg_encrypt_user) performs a read-modify-write using a
single-page intermediate buffer (dst_tpage):

  1. __sev_dbg_decrypt() expands the size to round_up(len + (d_off & 15), 16)
     before issuing the PSP command.  If len + (d_off & 15) > PAGE_SIZE,
     the PSP writes beyond the end of the 4096-byte dst_tpage allocation.

  2. The subsequent memcpy()/copy_from_user() into
     page_address(dst_tpage) + (d_off & 15) of 'len' bytes overflows
     by up to 15 bytes under the same condition.

Trigger example: s_off = 0, d_off = 1, debug.len = PAGE_SIZE -
the PSP is instructed to write round_up(4097, 16) = 4112 bytes to
a 4096-byte buffer.

Fix by also bounding len by (PAGE_SIZE - d_off), the same check that
sev_send_update_data() already performs for its single-page guest
region.
