CVE-2024-44948
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them
MTRRs have an obsolete fixed variant for fine grained caching control
of the 640K-1MB region that uses separate MSRs. This fixed variant has
a separate capability bit in the MTRR capability MSR.
So far all x86 CPUs which support MTRR have this separate bit set, so it
went unnoticed that mtrr_save_state() does not check the capability bit
before accessing the fixed MTRR MSRs.
Though on a CPU that does not support the fixed MTRR capability this
results in a #GP. The #GP itself is harmless because the RDMSR fault is
handled gracefully, but results in a WARN_ON().
Add the missing capability check to prevent this.
