From 3b4854b69ee70fffb2fa7acac09e715a7efcbae1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yehyeong Lee Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 11:34:43 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] xen/pcifront: check that an AER callback exists before calling it pcifront_common_process() handles an AER request from the backend by dispatching on aer_op.cmd to the bound driver's PCI error handler. It only checks that err_handler and err_handler->error_detected are present, then for the mmio_enabled, slot_reset and resume commands it calls the corresponding callback unconditionally. Those three callbacks are optional -- the PCI core NULL-checks each of them individually before use -- and many drivers (for example igb, igc, ice and ixgbevf) install error_detected without all of them. aer_op.cmd comes from the shared ring, so a malicious or buggy backend can send XEN_PCI_OP_aer_mmio (or _slotreset/_resume) for a device whose driver leaves that callback NULL and make the frontend call through a NULL pointer, crashing the guest. Check each callback before calling it. When mmio_enabled or slot_reset is absent, return PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED so recovery proceeds, as the PCI core does for a missing callback; returning PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE would instead make xen-pciback tear the guest domain down.
