Juergen Gross says: ==================== xen: harden netfront against malicious backends Xen backends of para-virtualized devices can live in dom0 kernel, dom0 user land, or in a driver domain. This means that a backend might reside in a less trusted environment than the Xen core components, so a backend should not be able to do harm to a Xen guest (it can still mess up I/O data, but it shouldn't be able to e.g. crash a guest by other means or cause a privilege escalation in the guest). Unfortunately netfront in the Linux kernel is fully trusting its backend. This series is fixing netfront in this regard. It was discussed to handle this as a security problem, but the topic was discussed in public before, so it isn't a real secret. It should be mentioned that a similar series has been posted some years ago by Marek Marczykowski-Górecki, but this series has not been applied due to a Xen header not having been available in the Xen git repo at that time. Additionally my series is fixing some more DoS cases. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
