Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:EOL][EOL]KVM: SVM: Reject SEV{-ES} intra host migration if vCPU creation is in-flight[EOL][EOL]Reject migration of SEV{-ES} state if either the source or destination VM[EOL]is actively creating a vCPU, i.e. if kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() is in the[EOL]section between incrementing created_vcpus and online_vcpus.  The bulk of[EOL]vCPU creation runs _outside_ of kvm->lock to allow creating multiple vCPUs[EOL]in parallel, and so sev_info.es_active can get toggled from false=>true in[EOL]the destination VM after (or during) svm_vcpu_create(), resulting in an[EOL]SEV{-ES} VM effectively having a non-SEV{-ES} vCPU.[EOL][EOL]The issue manifests most visibly as a crash when trying to free a vCPU's[EOL]NULL VMSA page in an SEV-ES VM, but any number of things can go wrong.[EOL][EOL]  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffebde00000000[EOL]  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode[EOL]  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page[EOL]  PGD 0 P4D 0[EOL]  Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI[EOL]  CPU: 227 UID: 0 PID: 64063 Comm: syz.5.60023 Tainted: G     U     O        6.15.0-smp-DEV #2 NONE[EOL]  Tainted: [U]=USER, [O]=OOT_MODULE[EOL]  Hardware name: Google, Inc.
