"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: arm64: Fix AArch32 DBGBXVR<n> handling\n\nThe consolidation of the breakpoint and watchpoint register accessors\nswitched DBGBXVR<n> from trap_bvr() to trap_dbg_wb_reg(). The latter\nselects backing storage with demux_wb_reg(), which only handles Op2 values\n4 through 7. Since DBGBXVR<n> uses Op2 1, an AArch32 guest access hits\nKVM_BUG_ON() and marks the VM dead.\n\nDBGBXVR<n> aliases DBGBVR<n>_EL1[63:32], and its AA32(HI) descriptor\nalready selects the upper half. Map Op2 1 to dbg_bvr[] alongside Op2 4,\nrestoring the pre-regression behavior."

"value": "AV:L - The trigger is an AArch32 EL1 MRC/MCR to CP14 DBGBXVR<n> during KVM_RUN; handle_exit() dispatches CP14_MR through kvm_handle_cp14_32() and trap_dbg_wb_reg() to the patched demux_wb_reg(). No network or physical input reaches this path.\nAC:L - On a host advertising KVM_CAP_ARM_EL1_32BIT, the attacker makes DBGBXVR<n> the first debug-register access; kvm_arm_setup_mdcr_el2() sets TDA while debug_owner is FREE, so Op2 1 deterministically reaches demux_wb_reg()'s default case. No race or uncontrollable state is involved.\nPR:N - DBGBXVR<n> is UNDEFINED at guest EL0 and must execute at guest EL1, but a tenant controlling its AArch32 guest kernel holds no privilege in the vulnerable host KVM authority. The trapped CP14_MR path performs no host credential or capability check.\nUI:N - The attacker directly executes the DBGBXVR<n> instruction, and the existing KVM_RUN loop processes the resulting CP14_MR exit automatically. No host operator or other victim must act.\nS:C - The defect executes in host KVM's demux_wb_reg(), while KVM_BUG_ON() invokes kvm_vm_bugged() and kvm_vm_dead() to disable the guest VM. Availability damage therefore crosses the host-hypervisor/guest security boundary.\nC:N - demux_wb_reg() calls KVM_BUG_ON() and returns NULL, after which trap_dbg_wb_reg() returns without calling dbg_to_reg(). No host or guest memory is exposed.\nI:N - Because demux_wb_reg() returns NULL before reg_to_dbg(), the access performs no attacker-controlled write or memory corruption. Only the deliberate vm_bugged/vm_dead error state and vCPU request are set.\nA:H - KVM_BUG_ON() leads through kvm_vm_bugged() to kvm_vm_dead(), which sets vm_dead and sends KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD to every vCPU. check_vcpu_requests() and subsequent vCPU ioctls return -EIO, making the entire VM permanently unrunnable."
