Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nVMX: Always flush vpid02 on first use Make sure vpid02 is always flushed on first use by setting last_vpid=0 when allocating vpid02. nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush() will always detect a VPID change on first VM-Enter after VMXON, because VPID=0 in vmcs12 is not allowed if L1 enables VPID. This avoids using stale TLB entries from a previous lifetime of the VPID, that might have been associated with a different vCPU (o…
