  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  KVM: SEV: Free have_run_cpus during VM destruction even if VM is no longer SEV  Unconditionally free SEV\u0027s \u0022have run CPUs\u0022 cpumask in the VM destroy path, i.e. even for what appear to be non-SEV VMs, as an SEV VM becomes a non-SEV VM if its state is intra-host migrated.  Alternatively, the mask could be freed in sev_migrate_from() when \u0022converting\u0022 the source VM, but that gets annoying because ideally KVM would nullify the mask to guard against UAF, and nullifying the mask would need be conditioned on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.  Freeing the mask during sev_migrate_from() is also not robust against other KVM bugs, though that\u0027s kind of a moot point since any such bugs would show up even if sev-\u003Eactive is never set.  I.e. KVM must get that side of things correct.  But, that\u0027s not a great reason to add more code just to make things marginally less robust.",
