Summary

In the Linux kernel, KVM for ARM64 (vgic) had an issue of double-deactivation of interrupts in the nested context. The physical interrupt was already deactivated via the HW bit in the LR, and the extra deactivation could trigger an errata on AmpereOne processors, causing loss of pending interrupt state and blocking future interrupts.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential system crashes or improper interrupt handling on AmpereOne platforms, which could lead to system hangs or loss of important events.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that avoids double-deactivation of interrupts in the nested context.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: vgic: Avoid double-deactivate of IRQs in the nested context In the nested state, the physical interrupt has already been deactivated through the HW bit in the LR. The extra deactivation would be harmless but can hit an errata case on AmpereOne, so avoid it here. On AmpereOne, deactivating a physical interrupt through ICC_DIR_EL1 or ICC_EOIR1_EL1 (depending on EOImode) which is not active, but is the highest priority pending interrupt causes the cpu to lose the interrupt pending state and also prevents the delivery of future interrupts.
