[Xen-devel] [PATCH 21/22] libxc: range checks in xc_dom_p2m_host and _guest

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These functions take guest pfns and look them up in the p2m.  They did
no range checking.

However, some callers, notably xc_dom_boot.c:setup_hypercall_page want
to pass untrusted guest-supplied value(s).  It is most convenient to
detect this here and return INVALID_MFN.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

Changes from Xen 4.2 version of this patch:
* 4.2 lacks dom->rambase_pfn, so don't add/subtract/check it.
