Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_COMMIT) Sashiko notes: > if SEV initialization fails and KVM is actively running normal VMs, could a > userspace process trigger this code path via /dev/sev ioctls (e.g., > SEV_PDH_GEN) and zero out MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA globally? Would the next VMRUN > execution for an active VM trigger a general protection fault and crash the > host? The SNP_COMMIT command does not require the firmware to be in any particular state. Skip initializing it if it was previously uninitialized. The SEV-SNP firmware specification doc 56860 does not mention SNP_COMMIT in Table 5 as a command that is allowed in the UNINIT state, but it is in fact allowed and a future documentation update will reflect that.
