This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach\ndriver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks.\n\nFix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification()\nhelper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies\narray_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback. Both the\nmmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is\nconsolidated into a single location.\n\nFrom source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds\naccess in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN\nremaps and crash/DoS.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":43,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
