Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Reset IRTE to host control if *new* route isn't postable Restore an IRTE back to host control (remapped or posted MSI mode) if the *new* GSI route prevents posting the IRQ directly to a vCPU, regardless of the GSI routing type. Updating the IRTE if and only if the new GSI is an MSI results in KVM leaving an IRTE posting to a vCPU. The dangling IRTE can result in interrupts being incorrectly delivered to the guest, and in the worst case scenario can result in use-after-free, e.g. if the VM is torn down, but the underlying host IRQ isn't freed.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.4 < 5.10.237) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.181) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.136) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.89) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.26) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.14.5) • linux linux kernel 6.15 • debian debian linux 11.0
