CVE-2023-53319
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Handle kvm_arm_init failure correctly in finalize_pkvm
Currently there is no synchronisation between finalize_pkvm() and kvm_arm_init() initcalls. The finalize_pkvm() proceeds happily even if kvm_arm_init() fails resulting in the following warning on all the CPUs and eventually a HYP panic:
Fix it by checking for the successfull initialisation of kvm_arm_init() in finalize_pkvm() before proceeding any futher.
