- Linux KVM Instruction Emulation Issue[6]
- Authored by Jann Horn[7], Google Security Research[8]
-
KVM instruction emulation can run while KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED is set, which can lead other vcpus to skip sending TLB flush IPIs. As a consequence, KVM instruction emulation can access memory through stale translations when the guest kernel thinks it has flushed all cached translations. This could potentially be used by unprivileged userspace inside a guest to compromise the guest kernel.
