** Description changed:

  Currently we do not validate the vector length before calling
  get_user_pages_fast(), host stack could be easily overflowed by
  malicious guest driver who gives us a descriptors with length greater
  than MAX_SKB_FRAGS.  A privileged guest user could use this flaw to
  induce stack overflow on the host with attacker non-controlled data
  (some bits can be guessed, as it will be pointers to kernel memory) but
  with attacker controlled length.
