"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: nVMX: Reset MMU back to the root MMU if loading L2 state fails for !VM-Entry\n\nReset the vCPU's MMU pointer back to the root MMU if loading L2 state fails\nin the \"not from VM-Entry\" case, i.e. when emulating RSM or handling\nKVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. Failure to unwind the MMU pointer results in KVM\ntrying to run L1 with a nested MMU, and is especially problematic if the\nvCPU manages to free its nested state before the VM crashes. Constructing\nthe root for a nested EPT MMU goes through vmcs12, which is dynamically\nallocated/freed when nVMX is enabled/disabled. And so if the nested state\nis freed with the MMU still pointing at the nested MMU, KVM will hit a NULL\npointer deref when attempting to get L1=>L2 EPTP.\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000078\n #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n PGD 114a2d067 P4D 111743067 PUD 11141f067 PMD 0\n Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP\n CPU: 20 UID: 1000 PID: 1272 Comm: nested_tdp_faul Not tainted 7.3.0-rc4-8c89f11d1a99b-sink-vm #1914 PREEMPTLAZY\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015\n RIP: 0010:nested_ept_get_eptp+0xb/0x10 [kvm_intel]\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n kvm_mmu_load+0xcd/0x870 [kvm]\n kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x18f5/0x1f80 [kvm]\n kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x2c7/0x970 [kvm]\n __x64_sys_ioctl+0x90/0xd0\n do_syscall_64+0x9c/0x4d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53\n RIP: 0033:0x47491b\n </TASK>\n Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass\n CR2: 0000000000000078\n ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n RIP: 0010:nested_ept_get_eptp+0xb/0x10 [kvm_intel]\n\n[sean: write changelog]"
