Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix circular locking dependency
The rule inside kvm enforces that the vcpu->mutex is taken *inside*
kvm->lock. The rule is violated by the pkvm_create_hyp_vm() which acquires
the kvm->lock while already holding the vcpu->mutex lock from
kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Avoid the circular locking dependency altogether by
protecting the hyp vm handle with the config_lock, much like we already
do for other forms of VM-scoped data.
En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: KVM: arm64: corrige la dependencia de bloqueo circular La regla dentro de kvm exige que vcpu->mutex se tome *dentro* de kvm->lock. La regla es violada por pkvm_create_hyp_vm() que adquiere el bloqueo kvm->mientras ya mantiene el bloqueo vcpu->mutex de kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Evite por completo la dependencia del bloqueo circular protegiendo el identificador hyp vm con config_lock, de forma muy similar a como lo hacemos con otras formas de datos con alcance de VM.
