With shadow paging enabled, the INVPCID instruction results in a call to kvm_mmu_invpcid_gva. If INVPCID is executed with CR0.PG=0, the invlpg callback is not set and the result is a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it trivially by checking for mmu->invlpg before every call. There are other possibilities: - check for CR0.PG, because KVM (like all Intel processors after P5) flushes guest TLB on CR0.PG changes so that INVPCID/INVLPG are a nop with paging disabled - check for EFER.LMA, because KVM syncs and flushes when switching MMU contexts outside of 64-bit mode All of these are tricky, go for the simple solution. This is CVE-2022-1789. Reported-by: Yongkang Jia <kangel@zju.edu.cn> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
