issue, simplify the kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() to\nnot zero-out PMU snapshot area from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() because\nthe guest is anyway being tore down.\n\nThe kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() is also called when guest changes\nPMU snapshot area of a VCPU but even in this case the previous PMU\nsnaphsot area must not be zeroed-out because the guest might have\nreclaimed the pervious PMU snapshot area for some other purpose."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_pmu.c"],"versions":[{"version":"c2f41ddbcdd75689d9f512638a40263e3127be93","lessThan":"81aa95fd5bd14ff49617f07fa79a8d1f1cf2ce9a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c2f41ddbcdd75689d9f512638a40263e3127be93","lessThan":"6d0a5dcfc78bd18f2abb9641f83380135494559b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c2f41ddbcdd75689d9f512638a40263e3127be93","lessThan":"47d40d93292d9cff8dabb735bed83d930fa03950","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_pmu.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.10","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.10","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10.13","lessThanOrEqual":"6.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11.2","lessThanOrEqual":"6.11.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.10.13"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.11.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.12"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81aa95fd5bd14ff49617f07fa79a8d1f1cf2ce9a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d0a5dcfc78bd18f2abb9641f83380135494559b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47d40d93292d9cff8dabb735bed83d930fa03950"}],"title":"RISC-V:
