Message-ID: <2024022719-CVE-2021-46961-6212@gregkh> Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 19:47:21 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2021-46961: irqchip/gic-v3: Do not enable irqs when handling spurious interrups Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: irqchip/gic-v3: Do not enable irqs when handling spurious interrups We triggered the following error while running our 4.19 kernel with the pseudo-NMI patches backported to it: [ 14.816231] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 14.816231] kernel BUG at irq.c:99!

Subsequent investigations show that (B) results in nmi_enter() being called, but that it actually is a spurious interrupt. Furthermore, interrupts are reenabled in the context of (B), and (C) fires with NMI priority. We end-up with a nested NMI situation, something we definitely do not want to (and cannot) handle. The bug here is that spurious interrupts should never result in any state change, and we should just return to the interrupted context. Moving the handling of spurious interrupts as early as possible in the GICv3 handler fixes this issue. [maz: rewrote commit message, corrected Fixes: tag] The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-46961 to this issue.

Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2021-46961 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e7ea8e46e3b777be26aa855fe07778c415f24926 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7be4db5c2b59fa77071c93ca4329876fb9777202 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ea817ac1014c04f47885532b55f5d0898deadfba https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3f72d3709f53af72835af7dc8b15ba61611a0e36 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a97709f563a078e259bf0861cd259aa60332890a
