CVE-2024-46707 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: Make ICC_SGI_EL1 undef in the absence of a vGICv3

On a system with a GICv3 if a guest hasn’t been configured with GICv3 and that the host is not capable of GICv2 emulation a write to any of the ICC_SGI_EL1 registers is trapped to EL2.

We therefore try to emulate the SGI access only to hit a NULL pointer as no private interrupt is allocated (no GIC remember?).

The obvious fix is to give the guest what it deserves in the shape of a UNDEF exception.
