N/A
Not availableNo severity ratings or metrics are available. When they are, we'll update the corresponding info on the page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - Fix possible deadlock in SEV init failure path
sev platform init handle init ex path() calls
rmp mark pages firmware() with locked=false while the parent
function of init ex path already acquired the sev cmd mutex.
In the case of an RMPUPDATE failure for any page after the first, the cleanup
path would invoke reclaim pages which would result in a deadlock in
sev do cmd.
Pass locked=true to honor the lock status of the parent function.
