ap_list, and concurrently disabling LPIS on that redistributor; the attacker creates the window rather than depending on uncontrollable host timing or memory layout.\nPR:N - The highest-impact scenario is a malicious cloud VM tenant on arm64 KVM who needs no host privileges beyond code already running inside the assigned guest; exploitation uses guest-kernel GIC MMIO/ITS operations, not host root, CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init namespace, or additional /dev/kvm access beyond having a VM.\nUI:N - Exploitation is fully attacker-driven from within the guest VM through deliberate LPI setup, affinity changes, and timed GICR_CTLR writes; no victim user or administrator action on the host is required beyond normal VM operation.\nS:C - Double list_del()/list_add_tail() on host-kernel ap_list linkages corrupts KVM VGIC state from guest-controlled interrupt operations, crossing the guest-to-host virtualization security boundary with VM-escape-class impact rather than confining damage to the attacker's VM.\nC:H - Corrupting detached ap_list pointers and inserting them into another vCPU's ap_list_head enables out-of-bounds kernel linked-list traversal and disclosure of adjacent kmalloc slab memory (struct vgic_irq and neighboring objects); per kernel guidance, this list corruption is leverageable for arbitrary host memory read primitives.\nI:H - The vulnerable path performs list_del() on an already removed entry and may follow with list_add_tail() onto another vCPU's ap_list, letting a guest steer kernel list pointers and overwrite adjacent vgic_irq/host heap metadata for control-flow or data corruption on the hypervisor.\nA:H - Re-running list_del() on an entry already removed by vgic_flush_pending_lpis() dereferences poisoned list pointers and corrupts live
