From 11366ead4f1412befea660777576c89a1bac0c1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiakai Xu Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2026 14:33:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Fix null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr() Add a null pointer check for imsic_state before dereferencing it in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(). While the function checks that the vcpu exists, it doesn't verify that the vcpu's imsic_state has been initialized, leading to a null pointer dereference when accessed. This issue was discovered during fuzzing of RISC-V KVM code. The crash occurs when userspace calls KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR ioctl on an AIA IMSIC device before the IMSIC state has been fully initialized for a vcpu. The crash manifests as: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfffffff00000001 ... epc : kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr+0x464/0x50e arch/riscv/kvm/aia_imsic.c:998 ... kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr+0x464/0x50e arch/riscv/kvm/aia_imsic.c:998 aia_has_attr+0x128/0x2bc arch/riscv/kvm/aia_device.c:471 kvm_device_ioctl_attr virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4722 [inline] kvm_device_ioctl+0x296/0x374 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4739 ... The fix adds a check to return -ENODEV if imsic_state is NULL, which is consistent with other error handling in the function and prevents the null pointer dereference.
