"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: x86: Use __try_cmpxchg_user() to update guest PTE A/D bits\n\nUse the recently introduced __try_cmpxchg_user() to update guest PTE A/D\nbits instead of mapping the PTE into kernel address space. The VM_PFNMAP\npath is broken as it assumes that vm_pgoff is the base pfn of the mapped\nVMA range, which is conceptually wrong as vm_pgoff is the offset relative\nto the file and has nothing to do with the pfn. The horrific hack worked\nfor the original use case (backing guest memory with /dev/mem), but leads\nto accessing \"random\" pfns for pretty much any other VM_PFNMAP case."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires local access to /dev/kvm and KVM ioctls (KVM_CREATE_VM/VCPU, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, KVM_TRANSLATE or guest page walks); it is not reachable via network packets.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the VM_PFNMAP backing (e.g. io_uring SQE mmap), guest page-table contents, and the ioctl/page-walk trigger, and public reproducers reliably hit the bad memremap/CMPXCHG path.\nPR:L - /dev/kvm is usable by unprivileged local users (kvm group or equivalent); no root or init-namespace admin capability is required, as confirmed by the CVE-2022-1158 disclosure.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bug entirely from their own process via KVM and mmap syscalls; no victim action is required.\nS:U - A host userspace KVM client corrupts the host kernel in the same privilege domain; this is local privilege escalation, not a guest-to-host escape across a VM boundary.\nC:H - The bug writes to attacker-influenced wrong physical pages (demonstrated UAF/kernel corruption), which can be leveraged for privilege escalation and thus full confidentiality compromise.\nI:H - cmpxchg_gpte() performs an out-of-bounds CMPXCHG write into incorrectly computed physical memory, enabling arbitrary kernel memory corruption and potential control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The erroneous physical write reliably causes kernel faults/UAF crashes (as shown by KASAN in the public reproducer), yielding high availability impact."
