DescriptionCVE.org

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

KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Reject restored DTE with out-of-range num_eventid_bits

Userspace can restore an ITS Device Table Entry whose Size field encodes more EventID bits than the virtual ITS supports. The live MAPD path rejects that state, but vgic_its_restore_dte() accepts it and stores the out-of-range value in dev->num_eventid_bits.

Reject restored DTEs with num_eventid_bits > VITS_TYPER_IDBITS before allocating the device. This mirrors the MAPD check and prevents the restored state from reaching vgic_its_restore_itt(), where the unchecked value can be converted into an oversized scan_its_table() range.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds host memory access in the Linux kernel's arm64 KVM virtual ITS (vgic-its) subsystem allows a local user driving the VM migration/restore path to disclose kernel memory and crash the host. The flaw lets userspace restore an ITS Device Table Entry (DTE) whose Size field encodes more EventID bits than the virtual ITS supports; vgic_its_restore_dte() stores this out-of-range num_eventid_bits, which later produces an oversized scan_its_table() range. It carries a high CVSS (9.0) but a very low EPSS (0.18%), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is the arm64 KVM in-kernel GICv3 ITS (Interrupt Translation Service) emulation. When a VMM (e.g. QEMU) saves/restores a VM, it serializes the ITS device and collection tables; on restore, vgic_its_restore_dte() parses each Device Table Entry, where the Size field encodes the number of EventID bits the virtual device supports. VITS_TYPER_IDBITS defines the upper bound the virtual ITS actually supports. The live MAPD (map device) command path already validates this bound, but the restore path did not, so an attacker-supplied num_eventid_bits greater than VITS_TYPER_IDBITS was stored in dev->num_eventid_bits and propagated into vgic_its_restore_itt(), where it was converted into an oversized scan_its_table() iteration range - an out-of-bounds read / improper input validation issue (CWE-129 improper validation of array index / CWE-125 out-of-bounds read class; CWE was N/A in source). The tags label this Information Disclosure, consistent with the C:H/A:H, I:N impact profile.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to a fixed stable kernel - 6.1.175, 6.6.142, 6.12.92, 6.18.34, 7.0.11 or 7.1 (or later on your branch), pulling the corresponding stable commit (e.g. https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1716b7fea2ead941a0dfac06c4504a3437cdf00d and the other listed hashes for each branch). If you cannot immediately patch, the exposure is limited to arm64 hosts running KVM guests with emulated GICv3 ITS and VM save/restore or live migration enabled - as a compensating control, avoid restoring/migrating VM state from untrusted or attacker-influenced sources, and where feasible disable in-kernel ITS emulation or ITS-based migration for guests that do not require it (trade-off: breaks MSI/large-interrupt-count guest configurations and live migration of ITS-backed VMs). Restrict access to the VMM and KVM device ioctls to trusted operators only. This is not exploitable on x86 or on arm64 hosts without ITS emulation.
