| Name | CVE-2022-48943 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: make apf token non-zero to fix bug
In current async pagefault logic, when a page is ready, KVM relies on
kvm_arch_can_dequeue_async_page_present() to determine whether to deliver
a READY event to the Guest. This function test token value of struct
kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data, which must be reset to zero by Guest kernel when a
READY event is finished by Guest. If value is zero meaning that a READY
event is done, so the KVM can deliver another.
But the kvm_arch_setup_async_pf() may produce a valid token with zero
value, which is confused with previous mention and may lead the loss of
this READY event.
This bug may cause task blocked forever in Guest:
INFO: task stress:7532 blocked for more than 1254 seconds.
Not tainted 5.10.0 #16
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
