From c28382f7ef531e10a45d240cdb29145f8638232e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Maloy Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021 12:10:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/7] e1000: fix tx re-entrancy problem The fact that the MMIO handler is not re-entrant causes an infinite loop under certain conditions: Guest write to TDT -> Loopback -> RX (DMA to TDT) -> TX We now eliminate the effect of this problem locally in e1000, by adding a boolean in struct E1000State indicating when the TX side is busy. This will cause any entering new call to return early instead of interfering with the ongoing work, and eliminates any risk of looping. This is intended to address CVE-2021-20257.
