- Summary
- KVM: SVM: Use kzalloc for sev ioctl interfaces to prevent kernel data leak
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Use kzalloc for sev ioctl interfaces to prevent kernel data leak
For some sev ioctl interfaces, the length parameter that is passed maybe less than or equal to SEVFWBLOBMAXSIZE, but larger than the data that PSP firmware returns. In this case, kmalloc will allocate memory that is the size of the input rather than the size of the data. Since PSP firmware doesn't fully overwrite the allocated buffer, these sev ioctl interface may return uninitialized kernel slab memory.
