Juergen Gross c3024e1945 xen/netfront: don't trust the backend response data blindly
commit a884daa61a7d91650987e855464526aef219590f upstream.

Today netfront will trust the backend to send only sane response data.
In order to avoid privilege escalations or crashes in case of malicious
backends verify the data to be within expected limits. Especially make
sure that the response always references an outstanding request.

Note that only the tx queue needs special id handling, as for the rx
queue the id is equal to the index in the ring page.

Introduce a new indicator for the device whether it is broken and let
the device stop working when it is set. Set this indicator in case the
backend sets any weird data.

README

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.
