Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) component. A race condition in the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) interrupt handling can lead to an incorrect state during interrupt synchronization. This issue, occurring between a sender and target virtual CPU (vCPU), results in a spurious warning and inefficient processing of virtual machine (VM) entry and exit cycles. While interrupts are not lost, this can cause performance degradation and unnecessary resource consumption within a virtualized environment.
