Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper hardware synchronization in arm64 TLB invalidation handling when processing broadcast TLB invalidation sequences on affected Arm CPUs. A local user can trigger memory accesses that rely on an invalidated TLB entry to cause a denial of service.
The issue affects only the completion of memory accesses translated by an invalidated TLB entry and does not affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries.
