Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Track decrypted status in vmbus_gpadl<br />
<br />
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause<br />
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an<br />
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to<br />
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)<br />
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security<br />
issues.<br />
<br />
In order to make sure callers of vmbus_establish_gpadl() and<br />
vmbus_teardown_gpadl() don&#39;t return decrypted/shared pages to<br />
allocators, add a field in struct vmbus_gpadl to keep track of the<br />
decryption status of the buffers. This will allow the callers to<br />
know if they should free or leak the pages.
