9.0 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Reject restored DTE with out-of-range num_eventid_bits Userspace can restore an ITS Device Table Entry whose Size field encodes more EventID bits than the virtual ITS supports. The live MAPD path rejects that state, but vgic_its_restore_dte() accepts it and stores the out-of-range value in dev->num_eventid_bits. Reject restored DTEs with num_eventid_bits > VITS_TYPER_IDBITS before allocating the device. This mirrors the MAPD check and prevents the restored state from reaching vgic_its_restore_itt(), where the unchecked value can be converted into an oversized scan_its_table() range.

no race or attacker-uncontrollable memory layout is required, and the live MAPD path already proves the invalid state is straightforward to supply.\\nPR:N - The highest-impact scenario is a malicious cloud VM tenant who needs no host privileges: they write a malformed DTE directly into guest physical memory (bypassing MAPD validation) and trigger host-side restore during automated live migration or snapshot resume, without requiring /dev/kvm or root on the host.\\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require victim interaction beyond normal hypervisor operations such as automated live migration or snapshot restore that the attacker can initiate as a VM tenant; no end-user action like opening a file is needed.\\nS:C - The vulnerability crosses the VM security boundary because guest-controlled saved state causes the host kernel to perform an oversized ITS table scan and mass kernel allocations, impacting host availability outside the guest\u0027s security scope.\\nC:H - The unchecked num_eventid_bits value inflates scan_its_table()\u0027s range up to BIT_ULL(32)*8 bytes (and can wrap the int size parameter for values 28\\u201331), causing the host kernel to read far beyond the valid ITT bounds through kvm_read_guest_lock across a large guest GPA span.\\nI:N - The flaw causes excessive guest-memory reads and kernel object allocation but does not corrupt or write host kernel memory; there is no demonstrated arbitrary host write, use-after-free, or code-execution primitive from this bug alone.\\nA:H - The oversized scan can loop for an enormous number of kvm_read_guest_lock iterations (worse when the truncated int size wraps to a huge unsigned length), and valid-looking restored ITEs can drive unbounded vgic_add_lpi/kzalloc allocations, exhausting host CPU and memory and causing severe denial of service.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"1716b7fea2ead941a0dfac06c4504a3437cdf00d\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"dab9f93251b2c86a033de6098d0c73afddd55d4a\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"b94538186a3eae3763b8f96dacd610920a865aa7\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"0680f511926589206f81f57f76ce131d7741a316\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"8bcd15b690a390241179516af1b6ae49ebfd9d95\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"57a9a117154c93539e33161dd318e6aeb8c04efa\", \"lessThan\": \"9ce754ed8e7ab4e3999767ce1505f85c449ccb07\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-its.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"4.12\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"4.12\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.175\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.142\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.92\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.34\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.0.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.0.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-its.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1716b7fea2ead941a0dfac06c4504a3437cdf00d\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dab9f93251b2c86a033de6098d0c73afddd55d4a\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b94538186a3eae3763b8f96dacd610920a865aa7\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0680f511926589206f81f57f76ce131d7741a316\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bcd15b690a390241179516af1b6ae49ebfd9d95\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ce754ed8e7ab4e3999767ce1505f85c449ccb07\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nKVM: arm64: vgic-its: Reject restored DTE with out-of-range num_eventid_bits\\n\\nUserspace can restore an ITS Device Table Entry whose Size field encodes\\nmore EventID bits than the virtual ITS supports.
