Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the vhost library in DPDK. Function vhost_user_set_inflight_fd() does not validate `msg->payload.inflight.num_queues`, possibly causing out-of-bounds memory read/write. Any software using DPDK vhost library may crash as a result of this vulnerability.

Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2021-11-23 09:55:36 UTC
In function vhost_user_set_inflight_fd() which is in DPDK Vhost library,  msg->payload.inflight.num_queues doesn't get checked to determine if it's out of bounds. So it could cause the program to write/read out of boundary. And in the end the software using DPDK Vhost library may crash.
