CVSS 4.7
Overview
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v4: Don't allow a VMOVP on a dying VPE
Kunkun Jiang reported that there is a small window of opportunity for
userspace to force a change of affinity for a VPE while the VPE has already
been unmapped, but the corresponding doorbell interrupt still visible in
/proc/irq/.
Plug the race by checking the value of vmapp_count, which tracks whether
the VPE is mapped ot not, and returning an error in this case.
This involves making vmapp_count common to both GICv4.1 and its v4.0
ancestor.
