This requires local access to /dev/kvm with no network component.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race \u2014 one thread toggles SMM via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS while another deletes/moves memslots \u2014 and the two paths take disjoint locks (vcpu->mutex vs kvm->slots_lock). Because the unprotected read is a __copy_from_user() on the attacker's own guest mapping, userfaultfd/FUSE backing can stall the reader inside the window indefinitely, making the race deterministically winnable.\nPR:L - Only an open /dev/kvm descriptor is needed, which systemd's default udev rule grants world read/write (MODE=0666), and nested-virt CI runners, cloud images, and Android AVF routinely expose KVM to unprivileged users. No CAP_SYS_ADMIN or real root is required.\nUI:N - The attacker's own process performs every step \u2014 creating the VM, stuffing nested state, toggling SMM, and cycling memslots. No action by any other user is involved.\nS:U - The attacker is already host userspace and the impact is on the host kernel, so no security boundary is crossed; this is not a guest-to-host escape since guest-initiated SMM transitions go through KVM_RUN, which already holds SRCU. Vulnerable and impacted components share the same security authority.\nC:H - The missing SRCU read lock yields a use-after-free read of a kfree()'d struct kvm_memory_slot and of rbtree nodes in search_memslots(), and a reallocated slot gives the attacker control of userspace_addr/base_gfn/npages plus arch.rmap pointers. This permits reading memory of deleted regions and, via heap grooming, arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - A freed slot that is reallocated with attacker-groomed contents is used to compute host addresses and is consumed by KVM's MMU and nested_vmx_load_msr(), and the concurrently-mutated rbtree traversal writes back into slots->last_used_slot. This gives the corruption-and-control-flow primitives characteristic of an exploitable heap UAF.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed memslot objects and walking an rbtree whose nodes are being freed under the reader reliably produces wild-pointer dereferences, oopses, and kernel panics. Any local user with /dev/kvm can trigger this in a loop to crash the host."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["arch/x86/kvm/x86.c"], "versions": [{"version": "e302786233e6bc512986d007c96458ccf5ca21c7", "lessThan": "5f35099fa3d59caf10bda88b033538e90086684e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f7e570780efc5cec9b2ed1e0472a7da14e864fdb", "lessThan": "fa297c33faefe51e10244e8a378837fca4963228", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f7e570780efc5cec9b2ed1e0472a7da14e864fdb", "lessThan": "939375737b5a0b1bf9b1e75129054e11bc9ca65e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f7e570780efc5cec9b2ed1e0472a7da14e864fdb", "lessThan": "ecdbe8ac86fb5538ccc623a41f88ec96c7168ab9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f7e570780efc5cec9b2ed1e0472a7da14e864fdb", "lessThan": "4bcdd831d9d01e0fb64faea50732b59b2ee88da1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "080dbe7e9b86a0392d8dffc00d9971792afc121f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b4c0d89c92e957ecccce12e66b63875d0cc7af7e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5.15.19", "lessThan": "5.15.198", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.97", "lessThan": "5.11", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.16.5", "lessThan": "5.17", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["arch/x86/kvm/x86.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.17", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.198", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.10.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.19", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.198"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10.10"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10.97"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16.5"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f35099fa3d59caf10bda88b033538e90086684e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa297c33faefe51e10244e8a378837fca4963228"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/939375737b5a0b1bf9b1e75129054e11bc9ca65e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ecdbe8ac86fb5538ccc623a41f88ec96c7168ab9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bcdd831d9d01e0fb64faea50732b59b2ee88da1"}], "title": "KVM: x86: Acquire kvm->srcu when handling KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"timestamp": "2024-09-29T14:12:09.375859Z", "id": "CVE-2024-46830", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-29T14:12:18.179Z"}}, {"title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T22:19:21.236Z"}}]}}
