Para reproducir el p\u00e1nico de manera consistente, podemos agregar un \"ssleep(10)\" para KVP en __vmbus_open(), justo antes del primer hv_ringbuffer_init(), y luego descargamos y volvemos a cargar el controlador hv_utils, y ejecutamos el daemon manualmente dentro de los 10 segundos. Solucione el problema reordenando los pasos en util_probe() de modo que la entrada char dev que utiliza el daemon KVP o VSS no se cree hasta que se haya completado vmbus_open(). Esta reordenaci\u00f3n evita que se produzca la condici\u00f3n de ejecuci\u00f3n."}], "lastModified": "2025-10-01T20:17:24.730", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DDE15310-57BA-4BA1-87F2-D344FBFF9497", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.289", "versionStartIncluding": "4.9"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "44569A17-FE4C-4BE3-9C0C-74AC54C7B51B", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.233", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DDBD8FC6-2357-4347-BFA1-B4A4A3039F35", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.176", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "3B06AD1C-E7B3-4B24-A884-D3BE92CC042F", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.122", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "74BA9823-CCED-4B24-815D-B82543954BF8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.68", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "811AC89A-14AC-49FA-9B54-E99526F1CA47", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.7", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "62567B3C-6CEE-46D0-BC2E-B3717FBF7D13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5A073481-106D-4B15-B4C7-FB0213B8E1D4"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DE491969-75AE-4A6B-9A58-8FC5AF98798F"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
