A vCPU that is destroyed while hardware breakpoints\nare still armed - the normal case when the VMM just exits or crashes -\nleaks hw_bp_info, hw_wp_info and all old_data buffers, since generic KVM\nfrees the vCPU right after kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy().\n\nThat is bounded by MAX_BP_COUNT entries, so roughly 8 KiB per vCPU, but\nit is unbounded over VM lifetimes. The allocations are\nGFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT, so the charge also outlives the exiting process and\npins dying memcgs.\n\nFix by clearing the debug data on vCPU destruction. Calling it\nunconditionally is fine: struct kvm_vcpu is zero allocated, so for a vCPU\nthat never enabled debugging the counters are 0 and the pointers NULL."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c"],"versions":[{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"053f2068cf9b0654b651fed5ad7649d3deb982bf","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"6c996b12bbe4a6023076e8eee3cfaf2cc99db76c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"d6280fc540d8f4653c9b54a78cb747e128070f5e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"544a5a665019cef394ce8bda97fa7a2cab253781","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"9a32c4c6a6c23b7f5bf765eb5b83ba7f64a8ec63","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"b5acacfdb8966abff91836c1c5bd7da59d8a526e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"e4d8b7f176b976474e0800ba71ee2dfa3ce263c9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"27291e2165b6de70c476b7b675308113edd69a60","lessThan":"e7f698b09d4a7c36b299acf680fc50fe868e2bcd","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/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.16","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.16","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.270","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.221","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.188","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.51","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.270"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.221"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.188"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.51"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.16","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/053f2068cf9b0654b651fed5ad7649d3deb982bf"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6c996b12bbe4a6023076e8eee3cfaf2cc99db76c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d6280fc540d8f4653c9b54a78cb747e128070f5e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/544a5a665019cef394ce8bda97fa7a2cab253781"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a32c4c6a6c23b7f5bf765eb5b83ba7f64a8ec63"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5acacfdb8966abff91836c1c5bd7da59d8a526e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e4d8b7f176b976474e0800ba71ee2dfa3ce263c9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e7f698b09d4a7c36b299acf680fc50fe868e2bcd"}],"title":"KVM: s390: Free guest debug data on vcpu destroy","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
