Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't free ring buffers that couldn't be re-encrypted

In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.

The VMBus ring buffer code could free decrypted/shared pages if
set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the struct
vmbus_gpadl for the ring buffers to decide whether to free the memory.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Controladores: hv: vmbus: no liberar búferes de anillo que no se pudieron volver a cifrar. En las máquinas virtuales CoCo, es posible que el host que no es de confianza cause set_memory_encrypted() o set_memory_decrypted( ) falle de modo que se devuelva un error y se comparta la memoria resultante. Las personas que llaman deben tener cuidado al manejar estos errores para evitar devolver memoria descifrada (compartida) al asignador de páginas, lo que podría provocar problemas funcionales o de seguridad. El código del buffer circular de VMBus podría liberar páginas descifradas/compartidas si falla set_memory_decrypted(). Verifique el campo descifrado en la estructura vmbus_gpadl para ver los búferes en anillo para decidir si liberar la memoria.
