Summary

Certain operations such as checksum insertion and VLAN insertion
require the device model to rewrite the packet header. The first step
in rewriting the packet header is to copy the existing packet header
from the source packet. This copy is done by copying data from an
iovec array that corresponds to the S/G entries described by transmit
descriptors. However, if the total packet length is smaller than the
headers that need to be copied as the initial template, this copy can
overflow the iovec array and use garbage values as the source pointer
to memcpy. The PR used a single descriptor with a length of 0 in its
PoC.

To fix, track the total packet length and drop requests to transmit
packets whose payload is smaller than the required header length.

While here, fix another issue where the final descriptor could have an
invalid length (too short) that could underflow 'len' when stripping
the checksum. Skip those requests instead, too.

this is because we had no WPRINTFs w/o params before?

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_e82545.c

should iovcnt >= I82545_MAX_TXSEGS also set invalid?

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_e82545.c
236

Yes.

1161

Right now invalid assumes you've already output an error message, but the existing error message for the iovcnt case is after the loop.

Part of the reason this is a bit more complex is we have to finish the loop to get to the EOP descriptor instead of just jumping directly to 'done' on an error.

I could perhaps move the check for iovcnt overflow and error message up here and then set invalid, but that's a bit larger of a change.

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_e82545.c

Ok, i see

Looks reasonable to me, but happy to have one of the requested reviewers check it over.

Is this a functional change? I can't see how it's possible to have vlen != 0 and hdrlen == 0. Not to say that the change is incorrect, though.

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_e82545.c
1316

I think that case is not possible -- I believe vlen != 0 implies hdrlen is at least ETHER_ADDR_LEN*2. AFAICT this change is correct, but not strictly necessary.

usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_e82545.c
1316

I think I mostly made it for readability since the builtin_alloca() takes the combined size, and the new check I've added above takes the combined size. Possibly the VLAN insertion should also be moved inside this if as well, but that would add a lot of noise (maybe it can be done as a followup)
