In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: nv: Avoid dereferencing NULL VNCR pseudo-TLB VNCR TLB invalidation occurs from MMU notifiers or TLBI instructions, and either can race against a vcpu not being onlined yet (no pseudo-TLB allocated). Similarly, the TLB might be invalid, and the invalidation should be skipped in this case. Both kvm_invalidate_vncr_ipa() and kvm_invalidate_vncr_va() are expected to perform the same checks, except that the latter doesn't check for the allocation and blindly dereferences the pointer. Solve this by introducing a new iterator built on top of the usual kvm_for_each_vcpu() that checks for both of the above conditions, and convert the two users to it.

A flaw was found in the kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) component for ARM64 architectures. A race condition can occur during the invalidation of the virtual Nested Translation Cache (VNCR pseudo-TLB) when a virtual CPU (vcpu) is being brought online or offline. This can lead to a null pointer dereference, which could cause the system to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
