If allocation or\nregistration fails, mshv_vtl_configure_reg_page() warns and leaves that\nCPU's reg_page NULL, but initial context setup continues successfully.\nMeanwhile, successful setup on another CPU sets the global\nmshv_has_reg_page flag.\n\nmshv_vtl_fault() checks this global flag before selecting the requested\nCPU's register page. With mixed setup results across online CPUs, the\ncheck passes even for a CPU with no register page, reaching\nget_page(NULL) when userspace faults in that mapping.\n\nCheck the selected per-CPU register page before taking its reference and\nreturn VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if it is absent."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/hv/mshv_vtl_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7bfe3b8ea6e30437e01fcb8e4f56ef6e4d986d0f","lessThan":"5c0757b065fbd140d8fbd05dc2c2146b713dfa68","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7bfe3b8ea6e30437e01fcb8e4f56ef6e4d986d0f","lessThan":"874194a8de75fc2f4d1fb70c670b289b7e48f93e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/hv/mshv_vtl_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.19","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.19","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.13","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","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":"6.19","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.13"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.19","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c0757b065fbd140d8fbd05dc2c2146b713dfa68"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/874194a8de75fc2f4d1fb70c670b289b7e48f93e"}],"title":"mshv_vtl: Check per-CPU register page before mmap","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
