GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2024-31143 (GCVE-0-2024-31143)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-07-18 13:31 – Updated: 2025-04-26 20:03
VLAI
Title
double unlock in x86 guest IRQ handling
Summary
An optional feature of PCI MSI called "Multiple Message" allows a device to use multiple consecutive interrupt vectors. Unlike for MSI-X, the setting up of these consecutive vectors needs to happen all in one go. In this handling an error path could be taken in different situations, with or without a particular lock held. This error path wrongly releases the lock even when it is not currently held.
Severity
