linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Lock all vCPUs when synchronzing VMSAs for SNP launch finish
Lock all vCPUs when synchronizing and encrypting VMSAs for SNP guests, as
allowing userspace to manipulate and/or run a vCPU while its state is being
synchronized would at best corrupt vCPU state, and at worst crash the host
kernel.
Opportunistically assert that vcpu->mutex is held when synchronizing its
VMSA (the SEV-ES path already locks vCPUs).
