The completion path then runs\nmemcpy(hv->init_buf, msg, VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE), so the consumer that\nwakes on wait_for_completion_timeout() can read up to 16 KiB of\nresidue from a prior message as if it were the response payload.\n\nPass bytes_recvd into hyperv_receive_sub() and reject any packet that\ndoes not cover the pipe + synthvid header. A single switch on\nmsg->vid_hdr.type then computes the type-specific payload size: the\nthree completion-driving types (SYNTHVID_VERSION_RESPONSE,\nSYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE, SYNTHVID_VRAM_LOCATION_ACK) fall through\nto a shared exit that requires that size before memcpy/complete, while\nSYNTHVID_FEATURE_CHANGE validates its own payload and returns before\nreading is_dirt_needed. Unknown types are dropped.\n\nSYNTHVID_RESOLUTION_RESPONSE is variable length: the host fills\nresolution_count entries, not the full SYNTHVID_MAX_RESOLUTION_COUNT\narray. Validate the fixed prefix first so resolution_count can be\nread, bound it against the array, then require only the count-sized\narray, so the shorter responses the host actually sends are accepted.\n\nOnly run the sub-handler when vmbus_recvpacket() returned success. The\nmemcpy length is bytes_recvd, which is bounded by VMBUS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE\nonly on a successful receive; on -ENOBUFS vmbus_recvpacket() instead\nreports the required length, which can exceed hv->recv_buf, so copying\nbytes_recvd would read and write past the 16 KiB buffers. Gating on the\nsuccess return keeps the copy bounded. The nonzero-return path is itself\na malformed-message case and is now logged rather than silently skipped;\nchannel recovery is not attempted.\n\nRejected packets are reported via drm_err_ratelimited() rather than\nsilently dropped, matching the CoCo-hardened pattern in\nhv_kvp_onchannelcallback().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/049a6b474823049fe60212f25f26e4b30f44ee8f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/164dc7bf17609340233c6bf4f66bb7c7008a0511","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/57d5d697642e05d5dd2d40660817765943dd709f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/588c84b461393ff1998ac7b97b04f953f642e0df","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f87763f47a3c22fb50265a00619ef10f2394b18"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64527","score":0.00161,"percentile":0.0525,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
