Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] KVM: SVM: Fix a (very) unlikely UAF for GA Log IRQs
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:01:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630210156.457151-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix a potential UAF due to freeing vCPUs while they're still reachable through
the global hashed list used to handle GA Log notifications.
v2:
- Defer adding the VM to the GA Log list until a vCPU is created (KVM only
needs GA Lot notifications to wake blocking vCPUs), so that removing the
VM from the list can be done during pre-destroy without having to handle
the scenario where VM creation fails at a later stage. [Sashiko, Xiao]
- Drop the stable@ tag, as it's not clear to me that the bug can actually
occur in the wild, whereas the changes themselves are somewhat risky.

KVM: SVM: Make kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_precreate() hook fully AVIC specific
KVM: SVM: Do all per-VM AVIC initialization during vCPU precreation
phase
KVM: SVM: Remove VM from the GA Log notifier list before VM
destruction
