Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RISC-V: KVM: Serialize IMSIC attributes with vCPU migration
KVM device ioctls are not serialized against KVM_RUN. As a result,
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr() can snapshot the physical CPU and HGEI of
an IMSIC VS-file before a concurrent vCPU migration releases it.
The HGEI can then be allocated to another vCPU before imsic_vsfile_rw()
uses the stale tuple. A GET or SET attribute may consequently access the
new owner's interrupt file.
Serialize the entire IMSIC attribute operation with the target vCPU
mutex. This prevents the VS-file from being migrated and recycled until
the attribute access completes. Acquire the mutex killably so that the
device ioctl remains interruptible while waiting for KVM_RUN to finish.
