In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: KVM: Fix uninitialized stack variable issue with dmsintc

Variable vector[] is declared on stack in function dmsintc_inject_irq() and sometimes it is used without initialized. Here fix this issue.

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized stack memory in the Linux kernel's LoongArch KVM DMSINTC interrupt-injection path can let a local user who is able to create or control a KVM virtual machine - or code running inside a guest - have non-deterministic stack contents consumed while injecting a dynamic message-signaled interrupt. The vendor rates this 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N), while our independent assessment keeps the local, low-privilege, scope-changing profile but lowers the impact components to C:L/I:L/A:L because the leaked data is not reliably attacker-controlled; the affected surface is limited to LoongArch hosts with KVM enabled and DMSINTC in use. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires local access on a LoongArch host running KVM, plus the ability to open a KVM VM file descriptor and drive DMSINTC (dynamic message-signaled interrupt controller) interrupt injection via dmsintc_inject_irq() - i.e. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Vendor CVSS is 7.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N), placing this local, low-privilege, scope-changing bug in the High band. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade the kernel to Linux 7.2.5 or later, or to 7.3-rc1/7.3+, both of which contain the fix (stable commit f56060b0e10fa5633fac1dc243a25da3a5cdafb1 and commit 81aa3a58b542ed88819115c80a17acd86eacb89d, https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f56060b0e10fa5633fac1dc243a25da3a5cdafb1); downstream LoongArch distributions should pick up the corresponding stable backport rather than re-implementing the change. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all LoongArch Linux hosts running KVM and confirm whether DMSINTC is enabled or used, restrict local VM creation/control and guest access to trusted administrators pending remediation, and review logs for suspicious local VM or guest activity. …
