| Subject: CVE-2024-36910: uio_hv_generic: Don't free decrypted memory |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| uio_hv_generic: Don't free decrypted memory |
| |
| In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause |
| set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an |
| error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to |
| take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared) |
| memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security |
| issues. |
| |
| The VMBus device UIO driver could free decrypted/shared pages if |
| set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the gpadl |
| to decide whether to free the memory. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-36910 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
