# Commit c42d9ec61f6d11e25fa77bd44dd11dad1edda268 # Date 2024-09-24 14:23:29 +0200 # Author Jan Beulich # Committer Jan Beulich x86/vLAPIC: prevent undue recursion of vlapic_error() With the error vector set to an illegal value, the function invoking vlapic_set_irq() would bring execution back here, with the non-recursive lock already held. Avoid the call in this case, merely further updating ESR (if necessary). This is XSA-462 / CVE-2024-45817.
