CVE-2026-89513In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RISC-V: KVM: Fix PMU event info array size overflow
SBI PMU EVENT_GET_INFO stores guest-controlled num_events * sizeof(*einfo)
in a 32-bit integer. On RV64, num_events = 0x10000001 makes 0x100000010
truncate to 16. KVM then allocates one entry but loops over the original
num_events, causing out-of-bounds reads and writes. A nested guest
triggered:

The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 16-byte region [ff600000074d46a0, ff600000074d46b0)
Store the shared-memory size in size_t and reject multiplication overflow.
Allocate the guest-driven array with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so it is charged
to kmemcg, and use __GFP_NOWARN to suppress allocation failure warnings.
Use kvcalloc() to allow vmalloc fallback and an unsigned long loop index
to match num_events.
