Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost-scsi: flush backend after device ioctls vhost-scsi translates guest response descriptors into userspace iovecs when commands are submitted. Target-core completes those commands asynchronously, so VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE can replace the memory table while an in-flight command still retains response iovecs translated through the old table. If the old mapping is reused after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE returns, command completion can write the response to an unrelated userspace object. Flush the vhost-scsi backend after vhost_dev_ioctl() handles a device ioctl. This waits for in-flight commands that can still use the old response iovecs before the ioctl returns.

A later VMM VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE is ordinary hypervisor memory-listener bookkeeping, not a tricked interactive action.\nS:C - vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work() copy_to_iter()s virtio_scsi_cmd_resp through stale tvc_resp_iovs (and vhost_scsi_copy_sgl_to_iov() through a stale read_iter) into the host QEMU mm, so guest-originated completion corrupts VMM userspace across the KVM guest-to-host boundary.\nC:H - After QEMU reuses the old HVA, completion writes into unrelated VMM objects; the copied_iov READ path (vhost_scsi_copy_iov_to_sgl() dup_iter, then vhost_scsi_copy_sgl_to_iov()) can copy LUN data into that remapped heap, which is leverageable to disclose host memory back to the guest.\nI:H - copy_to_iter() of the packed virtio_scsi_cmd_resp plus, when vhost_scsi_map_to_sgl() falls back to vhost_scsi_copy_iov_to_sgl() for misaligned I/O with sgl_count\u003eBIO_MAX_VECS, a guest-influenced READ payload into the remapped HVA, corrupting QEMU heap objects and enabling VMM control-flow hijack.\nA:H - A reused QEMU mapping hit by that completion write corrupts VMM heap metadata and aborts QEMU, terminating the VM; an unmapped old HVA only hits the \"Faulted on virtio_scsi_cmd_resp\" path, but reuse after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE is the contract the ioctl was supposed to guarantee."
