In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Ensure liveliness of nested VM-Enter fail tracepoint message
Use the __string() machinery provided by the tracing subystem to make a copy of the string literals consumed by the "nested VM-Enter failed" tracepoint. A complete copy is necessary to ensure that the tracepoint can't outlive the data/memory it consumes and deference stale memory.
Because the tracepoint itself is defined by kvm, if kvm-intel and/or kvm-amd are built as modules, the memory holding the string literals defined by the vendor modules will be freed when the module is unloaded, whereas the tracepoint and its data in the ring buffer will live until kvm is unloaded (or "indefinitely" if kvm is built-in).
This bug has existed since the tracepoint was added, but was recently exposed by a new check in tracing to detect exactly this type of bug.
