Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in broadcast TLBI completion handling in the arm64 CPU errata logic when performing broadcast TLB invalidation on affected Arm CPUs. A local user can trigger memory management activity to cause a denial of service.
The issue affects completion of memory accesses translated by an invalidated TLB entry, while TLB invalidation itself still occurs correctly.
