In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Forcibly leave SMM mode on SHUTDOWN interception
Previously, commit ed129ec9057f ("KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode on vCPU reset") addressed an issue where a triple fault occurring in nested mode could lead to use-after-free scenarios. However, the commit did not handle the analogous situation for System Management Mode (SMM).
This omission results in triggering a WARN when KVM forces a vCPU INIT after SHUTDOWN interception while the vCPU is in SMM. This situation was reprodused using Syzkaller by:
- Creating a KVM VM and vCPU
- Sending a KVM_SMI ioctl to explicitly enter SMM
- Executing invalid instructions causing consecutive exceptions and eventually a triple fault
The issue manifests as follows:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 25506 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12112 kvm_vcpu_reset+0x1d2/0x1530 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12112 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 25506 Comm: syz-executor.0 Not tainted
