    <title>CVE-2024-55881 — KVM: x86: Play nice with protected guests in complete_hypercall_exit()</title>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p>
<p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p>
<p>KVM: x86: Play nice with protected guests in complete_hypercall_exit()</p>
<p>Use is_64_bit_hypercall() instead of is_64_bit_mode() to detect a 64-bit
hypercall when completing said hypercall.  For guests with protected state,
e.g. SEV-ES and SEV-SNP, KVM must assume the hypercall was made in 64-bit
mode as the vCPU state needed to detect 64-bit mode is unavailable.</p>
<p>Hacking the sev_smoke_test selftest to generate a KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE
hypercall via VMGEXIT trips the WARN:</p>
