Title
KVM: nSVM: Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory for nested SVM, as bits 4:0 of CR3 are ignored when PAE paging is used, and thus VMRUN doesn't enforce 32-byte alignment of nCR3. In the absolute worst case scenario, failure to ignore bits 4:0 can result in an out-of-bounds read, e.g. if the target page is at the end of a memslot, and the VMM isn't using guard pages. Per the APM: The CR3 register points to the base address of the page-directory-pointer table. The page-directory-pointer table is aligned on a 32-byte boundary, with the low 5 address bits 4:0 assumed to be 0. And the SDM's much more explicit: 4:0 Ignored Note, KVM gets this right when loading PDPTRs, it's only the nSVM flow that is broken.

Guest-to-host attacks against KVM are scored as local access to the host.\nAC:L - Every precondition is under the attacker\u0027s control \u2014 L1 chooses 32-bit PAE mode, sets the NPT enable bit, and sets nCR3[4:0]; nested SVM and NPT are enabled by default in kvm_amd, and nCR3 receives no alignment validation, so the out-of-bounds read triggers deterministically on the first VMRUN. The guest knows its own e820 map and can aim at a memslot-terminating gfn and retry against every memslot boundary.\nPR:L - The attacker needs kernel-level (CPL0) control of a guest VM whose CPUID exposes SVM \u2014 i.e. an ordinary tenant VM on a nested-virtualization-enabled AMD host, which is a low privilege level relative to the host kernel being attacked. No host-side root or /dev/kvm privileges beyond running one\u0027s own VM are required.\nUI:N - Exploitation is entirely driven by instructions the attacker executes in its own guest; no host administrator or other user needs to take any action.\nS:C - The vulnerable component is KVM in the host kernel, but the impacted resource is host VMM process memory lying outside the guest\u0027s memslot, so the attack crosses the guest/host security boundary. This is the classic KVM guest-to-host scope change.\nC:H - Up to 31 bytes past the end of every memslot in the host VMM\u0027s address space can be read, and the value is recoverable by the guest through the shadow-NPT root oracle in mmu_alloc_shadow_roots(), disclosing host heap contents and pointers that defeat host ASLR. It is repeatable at each memslot boundary, so it is not strictly bounded to a few bytes at one fixed location.\nI:N - The defect is purely a read; the resulting PDPTE only influences translations that remain gated by kvm_vcpu_is_visible_gfn() and normal memslot lookup, and any accessed/dirty writes land in the attacker\u0027s own L1 memory. No host memory is corrupted and no control-flow primitive is produced.\nA:H - In affected v6.12-rc1..rc4 kernels the same guest-controlled offset trips the WARN_ON_ONCE(offset + len \u003e PAGE_SIZE) hardening check in __kvm_read_guest_page(), giving a guest-triggerable host kernel WARN that panics the entire host \u2014 and all co-resident VMs \u2014 on the widely used panic_on_warn=1 configuration."
