Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-24 15:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:34
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Drop WARN on large size for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION
Drop the WARN in sev_pin_memory() on npages overflowing an int, as the
WARN is comically trivially to trigger from userspace, e.g. by doing:
struct kvm_enc_region range = {
.addr = 0,
.size = -1ul,
};
__vm_ioctl(vm, KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION, &range);
Note, the checks in sev_mem_enc_register_region() that presumably exist to
verify the incoming address+size are completely worthless, as both "addr"
and "size" are u64s and SEV is 64-bit only, i.e. they _can't_ be greater
than ULONG_MAX. That wart will be cleaned up in the near future.
if (range->addr > ULONG_MAX || range->size > ULONG_MAX)
return -EINVAL;
Opportunistically add a comment to explain why the code calculates the
number of pages the "hard" way, e.g. instead of just shifting @ulen.
