"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: x86/mmu: Don't advance iterator after restart due to yielding\n\nAfter dropping mmu_lock in the TDP MMU, restart the iterator during\ntdp_iter_next() and do not advance the iterator. Advancing the iterator\nresults in skipping the top-level SPTE and all its children, which is\nfatal if any of the skipped SPTEs were not visited before yielding.\n\nWhen zapping all SPTEs, i.e. when min_level == root_level, restarting the\niter and then invoking tdp_iter_next() is always fatal if the current gfn\nhas as a valid SPTE, as advancing the iterator results in try_step_side()\nskipping the current gfn, which wasn't visited before yielding.\n\nSprinkle WARNs on iter->yielded being true in various helpers that are\noften used in conjunction with yielding, and tag the helper with\n__must_check to reduce the probabily of improper usage.\n\nFailing to zap a top-level SPTE manifests in one of two ways. If a valid\nSPTE is skipped by both kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_all() and kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root(),\nthe shadow page will be leaked and KVM will WARN accordingly.\n\n WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3509 at arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.c:46 [kvm]\n RIP: 0010:kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu+0x3e/0x50 [kvm]\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n kvm_arch_destroy_vm+0x130/0x1b0 [kvm]\n kvm_destroy_vm+0x162/0x2a0 [kvm]\n kvm_vcpu_release+0x34/0x60 [kvm]\n __fput+0x82/0x240\n task_work_run+0x5c/0x90\n do_exit+0x364/0xa10\n ? futex_unqueue+0x38/0x60\n do_group_exit+0x33/0xa0\n get_signal+0x155/0x850\n arch_do_signal_or_restart+0xed/0x750\n exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0xc5/0x120\n syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x1d/0x40\n do_syscall_64+0x48/0xc0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae\n\nIf kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_all() skips a gfn/SPTE but that SPTE is then zapped by\nkvm_tdp_mmu_put_root(), KVM triggers a use-after-free in the form of\nmarking a struct page as dirty/accessed after it has been put back on the\nfree list.

But with respect to leaking shadow pages, the bug was introduced\nby yielding before processing the current gfn.\n\nAlternatively, tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() could simply fall through, or\ncallers could jump to their \"retry\" label. The downside of that approach\nis that tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() _must_ be called before anything else\nin the loop, and there's no easy way to enfornce that requirement.\n\nIdeally, KVM would handling the cond_resched() fully within the iterator\nmacro (the code is actually quite clean) and avoid this entire class of\nbugs, but that is extremely difficult do wh\n---truncated---"
