  "title": "KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration  Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed.  Because the source VM is \u0022converted\u0022 to a non-SEV VM, KVM\u0027s memory reclaim flows won\u0027t trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier.  Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn\u0027t an option as KVM doesn\u0027t require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.",
