Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: Don't advance iterator after restart due to yielding
CVE-2021-47094 relates to a memory correctness issue in the TDP MMU implementation of KVM. On HAQM Linux 2 with Linux 5.10 and 5.15 this functionality is disabled by default due to it’s experimental status. HAQM will not provide a fix because the upstream change cannot be applied reliably to the previous version. HAQM Linux recommends customers that want to use TDP MMU to use HAQM Linux 2023 with Linux 6.1.
