CVE-2024-50115

CVE-2024-50115 is a Linux kernel vulnerability affecting KVM nSVM where loading PDPTEs from memory incorrectly handles nCR3[4:0]. The issue can cause an out-of-bounds read if a target page is at the end of a memslot, due to not enforcing 32-byte alignment when PAE paging is used. The root cause i...

CVE-2024-50115 KVM: nSVM: Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Ignore nCR34:0 when loading PDPTEs from memory Ignore nCR34:0 when loading PDPTEs from memory for nested SVM, as bits 4:0 of CR3 are ignored when PAE paging is used, and thus VMRUN doesn't enforce 32-byte alignment of...
