In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: vgic: Check the interrupt is still ours before migrating it
vgic_prune_ap_list() drops both ap_list_lock and irq_lock while migrating
an interrupt to another vCPU. After reacquiring the locks it only checks
that the affinity is unchanged (target_vcpu == vgic_target_oracle(irq))
before moving the interrupt, which assumes that an interrupt whose affinity
is preserved is still queued on this vCPU's ap_list.
That assumption no longer holds if the interrupt is taken off the ap_list
while the locks are dropped. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes the
interrupt from the list and sets irq->vcpu to NULL, but leaves
enabled/pending/target_vcpu untouched. As the interrupt is still enabled
and pending, vgic_target_oracle() returns the same target_vcpu, so the
affinity check passes and list_del() is run a second time on an entry that
has already been removed.
Also check that the interrupt is still assigned to this vCPU
(irq->vcpu == vcpu) before moving it.
A flaw was found in the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) arm64 vgic (Virtual Generic Interrupt Controller) component of the Linux kernel. During interrupt migration, the vgic_prune_ap_list() function temporarily drops and reacquires locks. If an interrupt is removed from the active processor list (ap_list) during this unlocked period, a subsequent check for interrupt affinity may still pass, leading to a double deletion of the interrupt from the list. This double free-like condition could potentially lead to system instability or denial of service.
