When parsing the structures in the shared memory, there are values which come from the remote device. For example, a transfer completion event will have a pointer to the tre in the relevant channel's transfer ring. As another example, event ring elements may specify a channel in which the event occurred, however the specified channel value may not be valid as no channel is defined at that index even though the index may be less than the maximum allowed index. Such values should be considered to be untrusted, and validated before use. If we blindly use such values, we may access invalid data or crash if the values are corrupted. If validation fails, drop the relevant event.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
