Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the KVM x86 implementation where delayed I/O APIC EOI (End of Interrupt) handling is not cancelled before vCPUs are destroyed. If the EOI broadcast is processed after vCPUs have been destroyed, it may attempt to deliver an IRQ to the target vCPUs, resulting in a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition. This was observed as a slab-use-after-free in the
kvm irq delivery to apic fast() function. Use-After-Free is a memory corruption issue where an application continues to use a pointer after it has been freed.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
