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

hwrng: virtio: clamp device-reported used.len at copy_data()

random_recv_done() stores the device-reported used.len directly into
vi->data_avail.  copy_data() then indexes vi->data[] using
vi->data_idx (advanced by previous copy_data() calls) and issues a
memcpy() without re-validating either value against the posted
buffer size sizeof(vi->data) (SMP_CACHE_BYTES bytes, typically 32
or 64).

A malicious or buggy virtio-rng backend can set used.len beyond
sizeof(vi->data), steering the memcpy() past the end of the inline
array into adjacent kmalloc-1k slab bytes.  hwrng_fillfn() mixes
those bytes into the guest RNG, and guest root can also observe
them directly via /dev/hwrng.

Concrete impact is inside the guest:

 - Memory-safety / hardening: any virtio-rng backend that
   over-reports used.len causes the driver to read past vi->data
   into unrelated slab contents.  hwrng_fillfn() is a kernel thread
   that runs as soon as the device is probed; no guest userspace
   interaction is required to first-trigger the OOB.

 - Cross-boundary leak (confidential-compute threat model): a
   malicious hypervisor cooperating with a malicious or compromised
   guest root userspace can use /dev/hwrng as a leak channel for
   guest-kernel heap data.  The host sets a large used.len, guest
   root reads /dev/hwrng, and the returned bytes contain guest
   kernel slab contents that were adjacent to vi->data.  In
   practice, confidential-compute guests (SEV-SNP, TDX) usually
   disable virtio-rng entirely, so this path is narrow, but the
   fix is still worth carrying because the underlying
   memory-safety bug contaminates the guest RNG on any host.

KASAN confirms the OOB on a 7.1-rc4 guest whose virtio-rng backend
has been patched to report used.len = 0x10000:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in virtio_read+0x394/0x5d0

  The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of

Same class of bug as commit c04db81cd028 ("net/9p: Fix buffer
overflow in USB transport layer"), which hardened
usb9pfs_rx_complete() against unchecked device-reported length in
the USB 9p transport.

With the clamp at point of use and array_index_nospec() in place,
the same harness boots cleanly: copy_data() returns zero for the
bogus report, the device-supplied bytes after data_idx are
discarded, and the driver issues a fresh request.
