"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: x86: Nullify irqfd->producer if updating IRTE for bypass fails\n\nNullify irqfd->producer if updating the IRTE for bypass fails, as leaving a\ndangling pointer will result in a use-after-free if the irqfd is reachable\nthrough KVM's routing, but the producer is freed separately. E.g. for VFIO\nPCI, the producer is embedded in struct \"vfio_pci_irq_ctx\" and freed when\nthe vector is disabled, which can happen independent of routing updates.\n\n[sean: drop PPC change, massage changelog]"

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local KVM VM ioctls (KVM_IRQFD, KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING) and VFIO PCI IRQ ioctls that wire an irqfd consumer to a VFIO MSI/MSI-X producer; there is no network, adjacent-radio, or physical-device attack surface.\nAC:L - An attacker who can open the VM and VFIO fds controls both sides of the failure window (provoke kvm_pi_update_irte() to fail during irq_bypass_add_producer, disable the VFIO vector to free vfio_pci_irq_ctx, then change GSI routing) and can retry routing/affinity until the dangling irqfd->producer is dereferenced.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires only local access to KVM and VFIO device nodes to issue the relevant ioctls (typical for QEMU/libvirt kvm-group operators or cloud tenants running VMs with PCI passthrough), not full init-namespace root or capabilities obtainable only inside unprivileged user namespaces.\nUI:N - The use-after-free is triggered entirely by the attacker's own ioctl sequence and subsequent routing updates; no victim login, file open, mount, or other interactive action is required.\nS:C - The dangling producer is used to update IOMMU posted-interrupt IRTEs for VFIO-assigned PCI MSIs, crossing the guest/host device-assignment boundary; corrupting interrupt remapping can compromise the host kernel and enable VM escape rather than staying within the attacker's VM scope.\nC:H - This is a kernel heap use-after-free on irqfd->producer embedded in vfio_pci_irq_ctx; freed-object reuse supplies attacker-influenced host_irq values to irq_set_vcpu_affinity(), enabling arbitrary kernel memory reads and pointer disclosure, not merely a bounded leak.\nI:H - UAF of the VFIO irq producer plus mistaken irq_set_vcpu_affinity()/IRTE reprogramming with a stale or attacker-controlled IRQ number can corrupt host kernel heap metadata and IOMMU interrupt tables, providing a path to arbitrary write and code execution.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed vfio_pci_irq_ctx from kvm_pi_update_irte() during kvm_irq_routing_update() can immediately BUG/WARN/oops the host kernel; even attempted exploitation of the UAF commonly crashes the host."
