Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RISC-V: KVM: Fix PMU event info array size overflow
SBI PMU EVENT_GET_INFO stores guest-controlled num_events * sizeof(*einfo)
in a 32-bit integer. On RV64, num_events = 0x10000001 makes 0x100000010
truncate to 16. KVM then allocates one entry but loops over the original
num_events, causing out-of-bounds reads and writes. A nested guest
triggered:
