Descriptions

A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke the `VMGEXIT` handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple times, they can trigger a stack overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially guest-to-host escape in kernel configurations without stack guard pages (`CONFIG_VMAP_STACK`).

Se encontró una falla en KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) en el kernel de Linux. Un invitado KVM que utilice SEV-ES o SEV-SNP con múltiples vCPU puede desencadenar una vulnerabilidad de condición de ejecución de recuperación doble e invocar el controlador "VMGEXIT" de forma recursiva. Si un atacante logra llamar al controlador varias veces, puede desencadenar un desbordamiento de la pila y provocar una denegación de servicio o potencialmente un escape de invitado a anfitrión en configuraciones del kernel sin páginas de protección de la pila (`CONFIG_VMAP_STACK`).
