When pseudo-NMI is enabled the DAIF.IF bits\nwill be clear, and regardless of pseudo-NMI the DAIF.DA bits will be\nclear.\n\nThis means that there are two problems:\n\n(1) It is possible to take Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions\n    during the resume process. This is unsafe, as during the resume\n    process both the old ane new kernels will tranisently be in an\n    inconsistent state, and swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() won't retain\n    an executable mapping of any exception vectors.\n\n    Any exception taken here will be fatal and silent.\n\n(2) When re-entering the resumed kernel, some DAIF bits will be clear\n    unexpectedly. This permits Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions\n    to be taken for a short period while the resumed kernel is not yet\n    in a consistent state.\n\n    This is detected by CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING.\n\nAvoid these issues by masking all DAIF exceptions during resume."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/arm64/kernel/hibernate.c"],"versions":[{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"c9c671e9ab87b639720db8f7f8648bdf0f3bc8ec","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"099ad3edcef1d955d9f5d6aab16ae78ecdfd4cda","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"716c41bd476334afb943308be9ff2142e34461b7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"5370853041a3cb53a125b77528586278f64b378b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"290c5b0c9fc0c61fb1c41421ed2394f955206ea0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"012823494e20c3cce622982ebd3fd6971be39ad2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"d736ace2c491623c9ab5e73744085e93e9ae3ebe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"82869ac57b5d3b550446932c918dbf2caf020c9e","lessThan":"684bde100117931f4c51c644a95f42f2dab041bc","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/arm64/kernel/hibernate.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.7","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":"6.18.52","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.6","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":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.270"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.221"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.188"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.52"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c9c671e9ab87b639720db8f7f8648bdf0f3bc8ec"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/099ad3edcef1d955d9f5d6aab16ae78ecdfd4cda"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/716c41bd476334afb943308be9ff2142e34461b7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5370853041a3cb53a125b77528586278f64b378b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/290c5b0c9fc0c61fb1c41421ed2394f955206ea0"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/012823494e20c3cce622982ebd3fd6971be39ad2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d736ace2c491623c9ab5e73744085e93e9ae3ebe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/684bde100117931f4c51c644a95f42f2dab041bc"}],"title":"arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernel","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
