DescriptionNVD

In OpenXiangShan NEMU prior to 55295c4, when running with RVH (Hypervisor extension) enabled, a VS-mode guest write to the supervisor interrupt-enable CSR (sie) may be handled incorrectly and can influence machine-level interrupt enable state (mie). This breaks privilege/virtualization isolation and can lead to denial of service or privilege-boundary violation in environments relying on NEMU for correct interrupt virtualization.

AnalysisAI

OpenXiangShan NEMU emulator's RISC-V Hypervisor extension implementation allows VS-mode guest writes to the sie (supervisor interrupt-enable) CSR to corrupt machine-level mie state, breaking privilege isolation between virtualization layers. Fixed in commit 55295c4 per GitHub PR #938. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Verify whether OpenXiangShan NEMU is deployed in your environment-check development, research, and virtualization infrastructure inventories. Within 7 days: For affected deployments, isolate NEMU instances from network access and restrict to trusted development networks only; contact your RISC-V tools vendor for interim mitigation guidance. …
