"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRISC-V: KVM: Synchronize hrtimer callback during teardown\n\nThe non-Sstc hrtimer callback clears next_set before its final uses of\nthe enclosing vCPU. If teardown observes next_set as false while the\ncallback is still running, kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_cancel() skips\nhrtimer_cancel() and kvm_destroy_vcpus() can free the vCPU before the\ncallback enters kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_interrupt().\n\nA guest can arm the timer with SBI TIME and request shutdown with SBI\nlegacy shutdown or SRST. A VMM that honors KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT and\ndestroys the VM supplies the teardown side of the race; no post-launch\nhost ioctl is needed to arm or request teardown.\n\nOn upstream master 62cc90241548, generic KASAN reported:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_raw_spin_lock\n Write of size 4 at addr ff60000005e58898\n\n kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_interrupt\n kvm_riscv_vcpu_hrtimer_expired\n __hrtimer_run_queues\n hrtimer_interrupt\n\nThe object was allocated by KVM_CREATE_VCPU and freed concurrently by:\n\n kvm_destroy_vcpus\n kvm_arch_destroy_vm\n kvm_destroy_vm\n __fput\n\nFor deterministic validation, I added mdelay(1000) immediately after\nthe existing next_set = false assignment. This only widens the\nexisting post-clear callback window. A no-delay trace build naturally\nreached the callback-after-teardown-start/before-deinit ordering in 12\nof 200 runs, but 1,500 stock-kernel stress iterations did not produce a\nKASAN report, so natural reproduction is timing-sensitive.\n\nAlways invoke hrtimer_cancel() for an initialized timer. Preserve the\nexisting -EINVAL result when the timer is no longer set, but only after\nsynchronizing with a running callback.\n\nWith this patch, hrtimer_cancel() blocked for the full widened callback\nwindow before vCPU destruction. KASAN reported no error in 100\nfixed-and-widened runs or 200 fix-only timing-sweep runs."

"value": "AV:L - Under KVM_RUN, a guest supervisor ECALL follows kvm_riscv_vcpu_exit()->kvm_riscv_vcpu_sbi_ecall(); SBI TIME arms kvm_riscv_vcpu_update_hrtimer(), while shutdown/SRST drives teardown to the patched kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_cancel(). This is local guest/hypervisor input, not a network protocol.\nAC:L - On a non-Sstc host, the guest chooses the timer deadline through SBI TIME and immediately issues shutdown/SRST, causing VMM teardown while the callback runs. The attacker creates both sides of the race, so the short scheduling window does not impose an attacker-uncontrollable condition.\nPR:N - kvm_riscv_vcpu_sbi_ecall() dispatches TIME and SRST or legacy shutdown from an already-running guest without any host credential or capability check; guest S-mode is within the untrusted VM authority, so no privilege in host KVM is required.\nUI:N - kvm_riscv_vcpu_sbi_system_reset() sets KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT, after which a VMM that honors the guest's request tears down the VM automatically; no person must perform an additional action.\nS:C - The guest-triggered kvm_riscv_vcpu_hrtimer_expired() callback accesses host kernel memory after the host struct kvm_vcpu is freed, crossing the KVM guest-to-host isolation boundary.\nC:H - kvm_riscv_vcpu_hrtimer_expired() reconstructs and uses a freed vCPU, and kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_interrupt()/kvm_vcpu_kick() read reclaimed lock, wait, mode, and CPU state. Reuse of this UAF object can provide host-kernel memory disclosure primitives.\nI:H - kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_interrupt() acquires a raw spinlock and performs two __set_bit() writes through the freed vCPU before kicking it; if the slab object is reclaimed, these operations corrupt the new host object and provide exploitable UAF write primitives.\nA:H - KASAN recorded a four-byte slab-use-after-free write in do_raw_spin_lock after kvm_destroy_vcpus() freed the vCPU. Corrupting or following the reclaimed lock and wakeup state can oops, panic, or hang the host and its VMs."
