Short explanation

A flaw was found in DPDK lib/vhost vhost-crypto. The indirect-descriptor snapshot double-fetches a guest descriptor next index, allowing a malicious guest to cause an out-of-bounds access in the host backend.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability carries high risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability due to its high CVSS score and the potential for guest-triggered out-of-bounds access in the host backend.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories.
  • Review current official updates and patch statuses.
  • Keep DPDK lib/vhost components updated.
