Summary

In the Linux kernel for KVM on s390, validation of AIBV and AISB addresses is added before pinning guest pages. Requests with AIBV crossing a page boundary or with unaligned AISB address are rejected.

Risk Assessment

Lack of validation could lead to unsafe pinning of guest memory, potentially causing crashes or isolation breaches.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel update that includes this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: pci: Validate AIBV and AISB before pinning guest pages The AIBV holds one bit per MSI-X vector for a given function. The size of the bit vector is derived from the NOI and the AIBVO. If the size of the AIBV exceeds a single page boundary, then reject the request as we cannot safely pin the guest AIBV. Similarly reject the request if the AISB address is not 8-byte aligned as the architecture requires doubleword alignment for the summary bit address. Since the AISBO can address up to 64 bits, the size of the AISB can only be 8 bytes for the function. This also ensures the AISB doesn't exceed a single page boundary.
