From 9badc8549fa75b3f1b5d74eea9d22c60a525b242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2019 12:48:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Reject device ioctls from processes other than the VM's creator commit ddba91801aeb5c160b660caed1800eb3aef403f8 upstream. KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process that created the VM. In other words, userspace can play games with a VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the creator can do anything useful. Explicitly reject device ioctls that are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.
