Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: vgic: Free private_irqs when init fails after allocation
Companion to commit 250f25367b58 ("KVM: arm64: Tear down vGIC on
failed vCPU creation"), which added the missing kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy()
call to the kvm_share_hyp() failure path in kvm_arch_vcpu_create(). The
kvm_vgic_vcpu_init() failure path immediately above it has the same
shape and still needs the same cleanup.
Call kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy() when kvm_vgic_vcpu_init() fails so private
IRQs allocated before a redistributor iodev registration failure are
released before the failed vCPU is freed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for ARM64 architecture, specifically within the virtual Generic Interrupt Controller (vgic) component. When a virtual CPU (vCPU) fails to initialize, the private Interrupt ReQuests (IRQs) allocated for it are not properly released. This resource leak could potentially be exploited by a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system resources.
