Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Fix uninitialized stack variable issue with dmsintc
Variable vector[] is declared on stack in function dmsintc_inject_irq()
and sometimes it is used without initialized. Here fix this issue.

"value": "AV:L - The uninitialized vector[] is used in dmsintc_inject_irq(), called from kvm_deliver_intr() on KVM_RUN (kvm_pre_enter_guest) and KVM_GET_ONE_REG ESTAT after irqfd/KVM_SIGNAL_MSI or KVM_INTERRUPT queues INT_AVEC. That is a local /dev/kvm and guest MSI path, not a network or physical protocol handler.\nAC:L - A kvm-group VMM can create a MSGINT vCPU, queue INT_AVEC via KVM_INTERRUPT or irqfd MSI, then KVM_RUN or GET_ONE_REG ESTAT; any zero vector_map word leaves the matching stack slot uninitialized and typically nonzero. A guest retriggers the same inject on ordinary virtio/MSI I/O with no race.\nPR:L - kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vm() has no capable() check, so kvm-group (or equivalent) access is enough to create dmsintc, enable CPUCFG MSGINT, and inject AVEC. A LoongArch KVM tenant can also cause irqfd MSI injection and read guest ISR CSRs, which is Low privilege relative to the hypervisor, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker issues KVM ioctls or guest device I/O themselves; no separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:C - dmsintc_inject_irq() writes host kernel stack contents into hardware guest ISR CSRs (LOONGARCH_CSR_ISR0-3) that the guest can read with csrrd and that the VMM can read after vcpu_put. That discloses hypervisor memory across the KVM guest-to-host boundary.\nC:H - Up to four uninitialized unsigned long stack slots are OR\u0027d into guest-visible ISR registers on every AVEC injection. Repeated MSI or KVM_RUN samples resample kernel stack including pointers, matching CNA stack-leak scoring for KASLR defeat.\nI:L - The same uninitialized words are OR\u0027d into guest ISR0-3, setting extra AVEC pending bits the VMM did not inject. That is limited corruption of guest interrupt-controller state, not an arbitrary host write or control-flow hijack.\nA:N - The uninitialized values are consumed only as ISR bitmasks via gcsr_write; they are not used as pointers and do not oops, panic, hang, or otherwise deny host service."
