Subject: [PATCH v1 4/6] virtio console: Harden control message handling
In handle_control_message(), we look at the ->event field twice, which
gives a malicious VMM a window in which to switch it from PORT_ADD to
PORT_REMOVE, triggering a null dereference further down the line:
RIP: 0010:spin_lock_irq ./include/linux/spinlock.h:388
RIP: 0010:unplug_port+0x9/0x150 drivers/char/virtio_console.c:1512
Call Trace:
handle_control_message+0x108/0x2c0 drivers/char/virtio_console.c:1600
elfcorehdr_read+0x40/0x40 ??:?
process_one_work+0x1b4/0x310 kernel/workqueue.c:2297

kthread+0x120/0x140 kernel/kthread.c:319
ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:295
Read the event code once instead, basing all following decisions on the
same value.
