In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Prevent access to vCPU events before init
Another day, another syzkaller bug. KVM erroneously allows userspace to
pend vCPU events for a vCPU that hasn't been initialized yet, leading to
KVM interpreting a bunch of uninitialized garbage for routing /
injecting the exception.
In one case the injection code and the hyp disagree on whether the vCPU
has a 32bit EL1 and put the vCPU into an illegal mode for AArch64,
tripping the BUG() in exception_target_el() during the next injection:

Reject the ioctls outright as no sane VMM would call these before
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT anyway. Even if it did the exception would've been
thrown away by the eventual reset of the vCPU's state.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for ARM64 architectures. A local user can exploit this vulnerability by sending virtual CPU (vCPU) events to a vCPU that has not been properly initialized. This improper handling of uninitialized vCPU events can lead to the kernel interpreting garbage data, causing the vCPU to enter an illegal state and triggering a kernel bug, ultimately resulting in a denial of service.
Меры по смягчению последствий
If virtualization is not required on ARM64 systems, the kvm_arm64 kernel module can be prevented from loading to mitigate this vulnerability. This can be achieved by creating a modprobe configuration file:
After creating the file, a system reboot is required for the changes to take effect. This mitigation will prevent the system from hosting ARM64 virtual machines.
