CVE-2021-47255 | Date: (C)2024-05-22 (M)2024-06-07 |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kvm: LAPIC: Restore guard to prevent illegal APIC register access
Per the SDM, "any access that touches bytes 4 through 15 of an APIC
register may cause undefined behavior and must not be executed."
Worse, such an access in kvm_lapic_reg_read can result in a leak of
kernel stack contents. Prior to commit 01402cf81051 ("kvm: LAPIC:
write down valid APIC registers"), such an access was explicitly
disallowed. Restore the guard that was removed in that commit.
