{"id":"CVE-2024-45005","summary":"KVM: s390: fix validity interception issue when gisa is switched off","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: s390: fix validity interception issue when gisa is switched off\n\nWe might run into a SIE validity if gisa has been disabled either via using\nkernel parameter \"kvm.use_gisa=0\" or by setting the related sysfs\nattribute to N (echo N \u003e/sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa).\n\nThe validity is caused by an invalid value in the SIE control block's\ngisa designation. That happens because we pass the uninitialized gisa\norigin to virt_to_phys() before writing it to the gisa designation.\n\nTo fix this we return 0 in kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() if the origin is 0.\nkvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() is used to determine which gisa designation to\nset in the SIE control block. A value of 0 in the gisa designation disables\ngisa usage.\n\nThe issue surfaces in the host kernel with the following kernel message as\nsoon a new kvm guest start is attemted.\n\nkvm: unhandled validity intercept 0x1011\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 781237 at arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c:101 kvm_handle_sie_intercept+0x42e/0x4d0 [kvm]\nModules linked in: vhost_net tap tun xt_CHECKSUM xt_MASQUERADE xt_conntrack ipt_REJECT xt_tcpudp nft_compat x_tables nf_nat_tftp nf_conntrack_tftp vfio_pci_core irqbypass vhost_vsock vmw_vsock_virtio_transport_common vsock vhost vhost_iotlb kvm nft_fib_inet nft_fib_ipv4 nft_fib_ipv6 nft_fib nft_reject_inet nf_reject_ipv4 nf_reject_ipv6 nft_reject nft_ct nft_chain_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 ip_set nf_tables sunrpc mlx5_ib ib_uverbs ib_core mlx5_core uvdevice s390_trng eadm_sch vfio_ccw zcrypt_cex4 mdev vfio_iommu_type1 vfio sch_fq_codel drm i2c_core loop drm_panel_orientation_quirks configfs nfnetlink lcs ctcm fsm dm_service_time ghash_s390 prng chacha_s390 libchacha aes_s390 des_s390 libdes sha3_512_s390 sha3_256_s390 sha512_s390 sha256_s390 sha1_s390 sha_common dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log zfcp scsi_transport_fc scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua pkey zcrypt dm_multipath rng_core autofs4 [last unloaded: vfio_pci]\nCPU: 0 PID: 781237 Comm: CPU 0/KVM Not tainted 6.10.0-08682-gcad9f11498ea #6\nHardware name: IBM 3931 A01 701 (LPAR)\nKrnl PSW : 0704c00180000000 000003d93deb0122 (kvm_handle_sie_intercept+0x432/0x4d0 [kvm])\n           R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:3 CC:0 PM:0 RI:0 EA:3\nKrnl GPRS: 000003d900000027 000003d900000023 0000000000000028 000002cd00000000\n           000002d063a00900 00000359c6daf708 00000000000bebb5 0000000000001eff\n           000002cfd82e9000 000002cfd80bc000 0000000000001011 000003d93deda412\n           000003ff8962df98 000003d93de77ce0 000003d93deb011e 00000359c6daf960\nKrnl Code: 000003d93deb0112: c020fffe7259\tlarl\t%r2,000003d93de7e5c4\n           000003d93deb0118: c0e53fa8beac\tbrasl\t%r14,000003d9bd3c7e70\n          #000003d93deb011e: af000000\t\tmc\t0,0\n          \u003e000003d93deb0122: a728ffea\t\tlhi\t%r2,-22\n           000003d93deb0126: a7f4fe24\t\tbrc\t15,000003d93deafd6e\n           000003d93deb012a: 9101f0b0\t\ttm\t176(%r15),1\n           000003d93deb012e: a774fe48\t\tbrc\t7,000003d93deafdbe\n           000003d93deb0132: 40a0f0ae\t\tsth\t%r10,174(%r15)\nCall Trace:\n [\u003c000003d93deb0122\u003e] kvm_handle_sie_intercept+0x432/0x4d0 [kvm]\n([\u003c000003d93deb011e\u003e] kvm_handle_sie_intercept+0x42e/0x4d0 [kvm])\n [\u003c000003d93deacc10\u003e] vcpu_post_run+0x1d0/0x3b0 [kvm]\n [\u003c000003d93deaceda\u003e] __vcpu_run+0xea/0x2d0 [kvm]\n [\u003c000003d93dead9da\u003e] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x16a/0x430 [kvm]\n [\u003c000003d93de93ee0\u003e] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x190/0x7c0 [kvm]\n [\u003c000003d9bd728b4e\u003e] vfs_ioctl+0x2e/0x70\n [\u003c000003d9bd72a092\u003e] __s390x_sys_ioctl+0xc2/0xd0\n [\u003c000003d9be0e9222\u003e] __do_syscall+0x1f2/0x2e0\n [\u003c000003d9be0f9a90\u003e] system_call+0x70/0x98\nLast Breaking-Event-Address:\n [\u003c000003d9bd3c7f58\u003e] __warn_printk+0xe8/0xf0","modified":"2026-03-20T12:38:57.464448Z","published":"2024-09-04T19:54:47.694Z","related":["MGASA-2024-0309","MGASA-2024-0310","SUSE-SU-2024:3551-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3553-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3561-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3564-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20073-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20077-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/45xxx/CVE-2024-45005.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/027ac3c5092561bccce09b314a73a1c167117ef6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/051c0a558154174cfcea301a386e4c91ade83ce1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a44bb061d04b0306f2aa8add761d86d152b9377"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/45xxx/CVE-2024-45005.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-45005"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"fe0ef00304639cae82df7c9ad6a15286bd5f876e"},{"fixed":"051c0a558154174cfcea301a386e4c91ade83ce1"},{"fixed":"027ac3c5092561bccce09b314a73a1c167117ef6"},{"fixed":"5a44bb061d04b0306f2aa8add761d86d152b9377"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-45005.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
