Title
KVM: x86: Acquire kvm->srcu when handling KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Acquire kvm->srcu when handling KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS Grab kvm->srcu when processing KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, as KVM will forcibly leave nested VMX/SVM if SMM mode is being toggled, and leaving nested VMX reads guest memory. Note, kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() can also be called from KVM_RUN via sync_regs(), which already holds SRCU. I.e. trying to precisely use kvm_vcpu_srcu_read_lock() around the problematic SMM code would cause problems. Acquiring SRCU isn't all that expensive, so for simplicity, grab it unconditionally for KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.10.0-rc7-332d2c1d713e-next-vm #552 Not tainted ----------------------------- include/linux/kvm_host.h:1027 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by repro/1071: #0: ffff88811e424430 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x7d/0x970 [kvm] stack backtrace: CPU: 15 PID: 1071 Comm: repro Not tainted 6.10.0-rc7-332d2c1d713e-next-vm #552 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x7f/0x90 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x13f/0x1a0 kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot+0x168/0x190 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_read_guest+0x3e/0x90 [kvm] nested_vmx_load_msr+0x6b/0x1d0 [kvm_intel] load_vmcs12_host_state+0x432/0xb40 [kvm_intel] vmx_leave_nested+0x30/0x40 [kvm_intel] kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events+0x15d/0x2b0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0x1107/0x1750 [kvm] ? mark_held_locks+0x49/0x70 ? kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x7d/0x970 [kvm] ? kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x497/0x970 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x497/0x970 [kvm] ? lock_acquire+0xba/0x2d0 ? find_held_lock+0x2b/0x80 ? do_user_addr_fault+0x40c/0x6f0 ? lock_release+0xb7/0x270 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x82/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x170 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 RIP: 0033:0x7ff11eb1b539 </TASK>

              "value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached solely through ioctls on a KVM vCPU file descriptor (`KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE` then `KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS`), racing against `KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION` on the VM fd. This requires local access to /dev/kvm with no network component.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race \u2014 one thread toggles SMM via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS while another deletes/moves memslots \u2014 and the two paths take disjoint locks (vcpu-\u003emutex vs kvm-\u003eslots_lock). Because the unprotected read is a __copy_from_user() on the attacker\u0027s own guest mapping, userfaultfd/FUSE backing can stall the reader inside the window indefinitely, making the race deterministically winnable.\nPR:L - Only an open /dev/kvm descriptor is needed, which systemd\u0027s default udev rule grants world read/write (MODE=0666), and nested-virt CI runners, cloud images, and Android AVF routinely expose KVM to unprivileged users. No CAP_SYS_ADMIN or real root is required.\nUI:N - The attacker\u0027s own process performs every step \u2014 creating the VM, stuffing nested state, toggling SMM, and cycling memslots. No action by any other user is involved.\nS:U - The attacker is already host userspace and the impact is on the host kernel, so no security boundary is crossed; this is not a guest-to-host escape since guest-initiated SMM transitions go through KVM_RUN, which already holds SRCU. Vulnerable and impacted components share the same security authority.\nC:H - The missing SRCU read lock yields a use-after-free read of a kfree()\u0027d struct kvm_memory_slot and of rbtree nodes in search_memslots(), and a reallocated slot gives the attacker control of userspace_addr/base_gfn/npages plus arch.rmap pointers. This permits reading memory of deleted regions and, via heap grooming, arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - A freed slot that is reallocated with attacker-groomed contents is used to compute host addresses and is consumed by KVM\u0027s MMU and nested_vmx_load_msr(), and the concurrently-mutated rbtree traversal writes back into slots-\u003elast_used_slot. This gives the corruption-and-control-flow primitives characteristic of an exploitable heap UAF.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed memslot objects and walking an rbtree whose nodes are being freed under the reader reliably produces wild-pointer dereferences, oopses, and kernel panics. Any local user with /dev/kvm can trigger this in a loop to crash the host."
