CVE-2022-33745 (GCVE-0-2022-33745)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-07-26 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-03 08:09
VLAI?
Summary
insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF (see XSA-273), PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. To address XSA-401, code was moved inside a function in Xen. This code movement missed a variable changing meaning / value between old and new code positions. The now wrong use of the variable did lead to a wrong TLB flush condition, omitting flushes where such are necessary.
