Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> x86/sev: Make enc_dec_hypercall() accept a size instead of npages<br /> <br /> enc_dec_hypercall() accepted a page count instead of a size, which<br /> forced its callers to round up. As a result, non-page aligned<br /> vaddrs caused pages to be spuriously marked as decrypted via the<br /> encryption status hypercall, which in turn caused consistent<br /> corruption of pages during live migration. Live migration requires<br /> accurate encryption status information to avoid migrating pages<br /> from the wrong perspective.
