After QCI drops a domain assigned to the mdev, leftover guest ADM bits persist deterministically with no race or uncontrolled memory layout.\nPR:L - Leftover ADM bits are consumed by the tenant KVM guest (or an unprivileged kvm-group QEMU process holding a delegated vfio-ap mdev) via millicode-enforced AP instructions with no host capability check. Creating the mdev is admin setup; exploiting the failed unplug does not require init-namespace root.\nUI:N - After the host AP configuration change, vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove runs from the AP bus workqueue with no further victim action, and the guest itself issues NQAP/PQAP against the stale control domains. No mount, click, or other user interaction is required.\nS:C - Leftover ADM bits in the guest CRYCB grant millicode-enforced rights to modify AP control domains the host intended to revoke, crossing the vfio-ap/KVM passthrough isolation boundary into the host or another consumer's crypto-domain authority, including nested guests whose shadow APCB is ANDed with the stale L1 mask.\nC:H - Control domains authorize AP commands that operate on other domains' key material (for example setting a secure private key). Stale ADM bits let the guest keep targeting those domains through remaining usage-domain queues, disclosing or wrapping keys that should belong to host zcrypt or another guest.\nI:H - With leftover control-domain access the guest can still submit AP command-request messages that change master keys and other domain state for domains removed from the host AP configuration, corrupting crypto state the host believes was unplugged and is no longer delegated to that VM.\nA:H - The guest can keep changing or destroying keys on the unplugged control domains and issue AP commands that render those domains unusable for the host or a sibling guest that should have received them after the QCI removal, denying IBM Z crypto services that depend on those domains."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "12871a4269f139221c9fde9ea3eb69c9228f59d4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "02e72909453dee2f8a09f78819f9a9cb902dfbdc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "4bffadde7fc49b00493fb78c6376f958998d4b8c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "f7d66afc34bc6e833c8ebe56973afec35f473bc1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "2ff68bf414de167bc138e6e211ee1ad3ab3c5052", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "eeb386aeb5b7c8d2dae6a3ba49255d8a97803182", "lessThan": "6b8a02e216f6b520cc029e43ddc83956605135d5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.0", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12871a4269f139221c9fde9ea3eb69c9228f59d4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/02e72909453dee2f8a09f78819f9a9cb902dfbdc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bffadde7fc49b00493fb78c6376f958998d4b8c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7d66afc34bc6e833c8ebe56973afec35f473bc1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ff68bf414de167bc138e6e211ee1ad3ab3c5052"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b8a02e216f6b520cc029e43ddc83956605135d5"}], "title": "s390/vfio-ap: Fix control domain removal in vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
