No race, timing window, or memory-layout condition is involved.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user granted access to /dev/vfio/* or /dev/iommu (the standard libvirt/QEMU delegation model) can reach the migration state machine; no capability is required on the IOMMU-backed path, as `CAP_SYS_RAWIO` gates only VFIO_NO_IOMMU mode.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step themselves \u2014 open device, set RESUMING, write zeroed migration data, set STOP/RUNNING \u2014 with no action required from an administrator or any other user.\nS:C - Zeroed queue-context bases make the accelerator DMA against unintended addresses in the assigned domain, and the resulting device errors escalate through `qm_abnormal_irq()` to a PF `qm_controller_reset()` that calls `qm_try_stop_vfs()`, halting every sibling VF belonging to other VMs and the host's own crypto drivers \u2014 impact well beyond the attacker's own VFIO device.\nC:H - With SQC/CQC/EQC bases set to zero the accelerator fetches queue contexts from IOVA 0 (guest physical page 0 in a typical no-vIOMMU passthrough) and follows those garbage descriptors, exposing memory never designated as queue storage through the device's queue and response path.\nI:H - The same bogus contexts cause the device to write CQEs/EQEs into arbitrary attacker-influenceable addresses in the DMA domain, silently corrupting a migrated VM's memory, while zeroed queue state is also committed into the physical VF's hardware configuration.\nA:H - The NULL-address queue programming produces AXI/queue-invalid errors in the QM reset mask, which drive `qm_abnormal_irq()` \u2192 `qm_controller_reset()`, stopping the PF and all VFs \u2014 a full accelerator outage for the host and every VM using that device, in addition to failing the migration."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/vfio/pci/hisilicon/hisi_acc_vfio_pci.c"], "versions": [{"version": "b0eed085903e7758532696d64397901a75bba8ba", "lessThan": "4bbc4db69264d4d38a6340d9751fb213943346d3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0eed085903e7758532696d64397901a75bba8ba", "lessThan": "b5ef128926cd34dffa2a66607b9c82b902581ef8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0eed085903e7758532696d64397901a75bba8ba", "lessThan": "59a834592dd200969fdf3c61be1cb0615c647e45", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0eed085903e7758532696d64397901a75bba8ba", "lessThan": "53e8e8e909f7c3a77857d09d2b733a42547f57ee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b0eed085903e7758532696d64397901a75bba8ba", "lessThan": "2777a40998deb36f96b6afc48bd397cf58a4edf0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/vfio/pci/hisilicon/hisi_acc_vfio_pci.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.18", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.94", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.34", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.16", "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": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.94"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.34"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15.3"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bbc4db69264d4d38a6340d9751fb213943346d3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5ef128926cd34dffa2a66607b9c82b902581ef8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59a834592dd200969fdf3c61be1cb0615c647e45"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/53e8e8e909f7c3a77857d09d2b733a42547f57ee"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2777a40998deb36f96b6afc48bd397cf58a4edf0"}], "title": "hisi_acc_vfio_pci: bugfix live migration function without VF device driver", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
