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.
