Subject: CVE-2019-3900 Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving
packets leads to DoS
Hello,
An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module, while
handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends
packets faster than the other end can process them.
A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhost_net
kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario.
Upstream patch:
