Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1
intercepts when completing userspace I/O When completing emulation of instruction that generated a
userspace exit for I/O, don't recheck L1 intercepts as KVM has already finished that phase of instruction
execution, i.e. has already committed to allowing L2 to perform I/O. If L1 (or host userspace) modifies
the I/O permission bitmaps during the exit to userspace, KVM will treat the access as being intercepted
despite already having emulated the I/O access. Pivot on EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE to detect that KVM is
completing emulation. Of the three users of EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE, only complete_emulated_io() (the intended
"recipient") can reach the code in question. gp_interception()'s use is mutually exclusive with
is_guest_mode(), and complete_emulated_insn_gp() unconditionally pairs EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE with
EMULTYPE_SKIP. The bad behavior was detected by a syzkaller program that toggles port I/O interception
during the userspace I/O exit, ultimately resulting in a WARN on vcpu->arch.pio.count being non-zero due
to KVM no completing emulation of the I/O instruction. WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 1083 at
