Subject: [PATCH 7.0 51/76] KVM: SEV: Reject attempts to sync VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:42:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420153912.681836144@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420153910.810034134@linuxfoundation.org>
7.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
commit 9b9f7962e3e879d12da2bf47e02a24ec51690e3d upstream.
Reject synchronizing vCPU state to its associated VMSA if the vCPU has
already been launched, i.e. if the VMSA has already been encrypted. On a
host with SNP enabled, accessing guest-private memory generates an RMP #PF
and panics the host.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff1276cbfdf36000
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x80000003) - RMP violation

</TASK>
Note, the KVM flaw has been present since commit ad73109ae7ec ("KVM: SVM:
Provide support to launch and run an SEV-ES guest"), but has only been
actively dangerous for the host since SNP support was added. With SEV-ES,
KVM would "just" clobber guest state, which is totally fine from a host
kernel perspective since userspace can clobber guest state any time before
sev_launch_update_vmsa().
Fixes: ad27ce155566 ("KVM: SEV: Add KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH command")
