In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: Fix a data race on lastboostedvcpu in kvmvcpuon_spin()

Use {READ,WRITE}ONCE() to access kvm->lastboosted_vcpu to ensure the loads and stores are atomic. In the extremely unlikely scenario the compiler tears the stores, it's theoretically possible for KVM to attempt to get a vCPU using an out-of-bounds index, e.g. if the write is split into multiple 8-bit stores, and is paired with a 32-bit load on a VM with 257 vCPUs:

CPU0 CPU1 lastboostedvcpu = 0xff;

                                (last_boosted_vcpu = 0x100)
                                last_boosted_vcpu[15:8] = 0x01;

i = (lastboostedvcpu = 0x1ff) lastboostedvcpu[7:0] = 0x00;

vcpu = kvm->vcpu_array[0x1ff];

As detected by KCSAN:
