that is a local sysfs/firmware/KVM path with no network, Bluetooth, or USB exposure.\nAC:L - Removing the last adapter, domain, or control domain assigned to a vfio-ap mdev from the host AP configuration empties the shadow APCB so bitmap_andnot() returns false and vfio_ap_mdev_update_guest_apcb() is skipped every time; a single-adapter guest plus sysfs config=0 or HMC unplug is the designed hot-unplug path, with no race or uncontrolled memory layout.\nPR:L - The leftover millicode APCB is exercised by the tenant KVM guest or the unprivileged host kvm-group QEMU process that already holds the vfio-ap mdev, not by host root; kvm_arch_crypto_set_masks() is the revocation the guest then bypasses, and user namespaces cannot create that mdev, so privileges stay Low rather than High.\nUI:N - Once the last assigned adapter or domain is removed from host QCI, the guest CRYCB still contains the old bits and the guest can issue NQAP/DQAP/PQAP immediately; no separate victim mount, click, or other user action is required.\nS:C - The skipped kvm_arch_crypto_set_masks() leaves the guest with millicode-enforced access to AP adapters and domains the host has unplugged, crossing the KVM/vfio-ap passthrough isolation boundary into hardware that may now belong to the host zcrypt stack or another consumer, equivalent to an IOMMU/device isolation bypass.\nC:H - Unauthorized APQNs let the guest dequeue AP replies (DQAP) from queues the host believes were unplugged, disclosing cryptographic request/response data and key material on those adapters and domains.\nI:H - The guest can enqueue arbitrary AP requests (NQAP) and change hardware queue state on adapters and domains that hot-unplug should have revoked, corrupting crypto operations the host believes are no longer available to that guest.\nA:H - With the stale APCB the guest can PQAP(ZAPQ)-reset or flood the unplugged queues, denying host or sibling-guest crypto services (pkey, secure-key LUKS, openCryptoki) that subsequently reuse the same physical adapter or domain."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "f58e824de8577fe411f6199d659731a0f86a7275", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "3a9b049bbdc40165d7f3e20b818eec95e5694d96", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "753aa3bb1273bc0d36adb013d5915cc8ff6b72a9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "c45753c32d452d10d8efaeb52587e9e6e8126e33", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "04b35dd88c108b2d2ceaaa396aba1cb4049d5831", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "917f509bfb88048094dbb85c4e9dbc4d6fe4a886", "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/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.0", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f58e824de8577fe411f6199d659731a0f86a7275"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a9b049bbdc40165d7f3e20b818eec95e5694d96"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/753aa3bb1273bc0d36adb013d5915cc8ff6b72a9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c45753c32d452d10d8efaeb52587e9e6e8126e33"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04b35dd88c108b2d2ceaaa396aba1cb4049d5831"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/917f509bfb88048094dbb85c4e9dbc4d6fe4a886"}], "title": "s390/vfio-ap: Fix hot-unplug skipped when last AP adapter or domain removed", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
