  "title": "linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  virt: sev-guest: Do not use host-controlled page...",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  virt: sev-guest: Do not use host-controlled page order in cleanup path  When issuing an extended guest request (SVM_VMGEXIT_EXT_GUEST_REQUEST), get_ext_report() allocates a buffer to retrieve a certificate blob from the host, keeping track of its size in report_req-\u003Ecerts_len.  However, the host may return SNP_GUEST_VMM_ERR_INVALID_LEN, indicating an invalid buffer size, as well as the expected length of such buffer. get_ext_report() subsequently updates report_req-\u003Ecerts_len with the host-controlled value, and cleans up the buffer by computing a page order from such value. This is incorrect, as the host-provided length may not match the page order of the original allocation, potentially resulting in corruption in the page allocator.  Fix this by using alloc_pages_exact() instead, and reusing @npages to compute the size passed to free_pages_exact(). For consistency, also use @npages to compute the size when allocating the pages, even though this last change has no functional effect.",
