Doc Text:
This is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem, specifically affecting AMD's Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) implementation. The issue arises from improper handling of guest interrupt requests (IRQs). When guest IRQ values provided exceed expected bounds, it can trigger a kernel panic, leading to a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:13:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: SVM: fix panic on out-of-bounds guest IRQ

As guest_irq is coming from KVM_IRQFD API call, it may trigger
crash in svm_update_pi_irte() due to out-of-bounds:

Vmx have been fix this in commit 3a8b0677fc61 (KVM: VMX: Do not BUG() on
out-of-bounds guest IRQ), so we can just copy source from that to fix
this.
