"value": "AV:L - Local ioctl(KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP) follows kvm_vm_ioctl() → sev_mem_enc_ioctl() → snp_launch_update() → kvm_gmem_populate() → patched sev_gmem_post_populate(); the triggering CPUID page comes from the ioctl's userspace uaddr, not a network peer or guest.\nAC:L - The caller can supply a CPUID page that makes SEV_CMD_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE return SEV_RET_INVALID_PARAM and concurrently tear down its file-backed source mapping; the same attacker controls both sides of the set_page_dirty() race.\nPR:L - kvm_vm_ioctl() requires a same-mm VM fd and __sev_issue_cmd() requires a valid /dev/sev fd, but sev_mem_enc_ioctl() and snp_launch_update() perform no capability check; an unprivileged VMM account granted those device fds suffices.\nUI:N - The attacker creates and initializes the SNP VM, submits the rejected CPUID page, and races teardown of that page's mapping without any action by another user.\nS:U - The UAF occurs in the host kernel while servicing the host VMM's launch ioctl; it is not a guest-to-host escape because the guest has not begun executing on this pre-launch failure path.\nC:H - folio_mark_dirty() can invoke mapping->a_ops->dirty_folio through a freed inode-embedded address_space; grooming the stale object and exploiting the resulting kernel control-flow or mapping-state corruption can provide arbitrary host-kernel memory access.\nI:H - For buffer-backed pages, the stale callback can enter block_dirty_folio(), modify freed mapping locks and buffer state, then call __folio_mark_dirty() and __mark_inode_dirty() through reused objects, providing exploitable UAF writes and potential kernel code execution.\nA:H - The stale dirty_folio callback can dereference freed or poisoned a_ops, spinlocks, buffer heads, or host-inode state, causing a host kernel oops or panic."
