Subject: CVE-2021-20221 QEMU: aarch64: GIC: out-of-bound heap buffer access
via an interrupt ID field
Hello,
An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the ARM Generic
Interrupt Controller emulator of QEMU on aarch64 platform. The issue occurs
because while writing an interrupt ID to the controller memory area, it is not
masked to be 4 bits wide. It may lead to the said issue while updating
controller state fields and their subsequent processing. A privileged guest
user may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS
scenario.
It requires unusual kernel start-up with 'kernel-irqchip=off'.
It does not affect default configuration ie. kernel-irqchip=on.
Upstream patch:
