Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD
Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: x86/fpu: mantenga xfd_state sincronizado con MSR_IA32_XFD Confirme 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: actualice el estado de XFD cuando sea necesario") y confirme 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: agregue el estado de XFD a fpstate") introdujo una variable xfd_state por CPU para mantener el valor MSR_IA32_XFD en caché, a fin de evitar escrituras innecesarias en el MSR. En la conexión en caliente de la CPU, MSR_IA32_XFD se restablece a init_fpstate.xfd, lo que elimina cualquier estado obsoleto. Pero el valor xfd almacenado en caché por CPU no se restablece, lo que los desincroniza. Como consecuencia, un xfd_update_state() posterior podría no actualizar el MSR, lo que a su vez puede provocar que XRSTOR genere un #NM en el espacio del kernel, lo que bloquea el kernel. Para solucionar este problema, introduzca xfd_set_state() para escribir xfd_state junto con MSR_IA32_XFD y utilícelo en todos los lugares que configuren MSR_IA32_XFD.
