IOMMU page mapping issues on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Both AMD and Intel allow ACPI tables to specify regions of memory which should be left untranslated, which typically means these addresses should pass the translation phase unaltered. While these are typically device specific ACPI properties, they can also be specified to apply ...

CVE-2021-29657

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest on AMD can launch a nested guest without the Intercept VMRUN control bit by exploiting a TOCTOU vulnerability in nestedsvmvmrun. A malicious guest could use this flaw to gain unrestricted access to host MSRs, possibly leading to guest-to-host esca...

CVE-2021-3653

A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the "intctl" field, this issue could allow a malicious ...

arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 5.11.12 has a use-after-free in which an AMD KVM guest can bypass access control on host OS MSRs when there are nested guests aka CID-a58d9166a756. This occurs because of a TOCTOU race condition associated with a VMCB12 double fetch in nested_svm_vmrun.
