FKIE_CVE-2024-35791

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-05-17 13:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:35
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Flush pages under kvm->lock to fix UAF in svm_register_enc_region() Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region() before dropping kvm->lock to fix use-after-free issues where region and/or its array of pages could be freed by a different task, e.g. if userspace has __unregister_enc_region_locked() already queued up for the region. Note, the "obvious" alternative of using local variables doesn't fully resolve the bug, as region->pages is also dynamically allocated. I.e. the region structure itself would be fine, but region->pages could be freed. Flushing multiple pages under kvm->lock is unfortunate, but the entire flow is a rare slow path, and the manual flush is only needed on CPUs that lack coherency for encrypted memory.

Tenga en cuenta que la alternativa \"obvia\" de usar variables locales no resuelve completamente el error, ya que regi\u00f3n-\u0026gt;p\u00e1ginas tambi\u00e9n se asigna din\u00e1micamente. Es decir, la estructura de la regi\u00f3n en s\u00ed estar\u00eda bien, pero se podr\u00edan liberar regiones-\u0026gt;p\u00e1ginas. Vaciar varias p\u00e1ginas bajo kvm-\u0026gt;lock es desafortunado, pero todo el flujo es un camino lento poco com\u00fan, y el vaciado manual solo es necesario en CPU que carecen de coherencia para la memoria cifrada."
