AI-suggested
An official patch is available and included in Ubuntu security updates. Users should apply the latest linux-azure kernel updates to versions 7.0.0-28.28~24.04.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the vendor-provided fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem for the arm64 architecture was fixed. The issue involved the vgic-its component improperly accepting restored ITS Device Table Entries (DTE) with an out-of-range number of EventID bits. This could lead to memory corruption or denial of service. The flaw affects multiple linux-azure kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-28.28~24.04.1 and related builds. An official patch is available and included in Ubuntu security updates.
