Subject[PATCH v1 2/6] virtio console: Harden port adding
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The ADD_PORT operation reads and sanity checks the port id multiple
times from the untrusted host. This is not safe because a malicious
host could change it between reads.

Read the port id only once and cache it for subsequent uses.
