CVE-2025-39936

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

crypto: ccp – Always pass in an error pointer to __sev_platform_shutdown_locked()

When

9770b428b1a2 (“crypto: ccp – Move dev_info/err messages for SEV/SNP init and shutdown”)

moved the error messages dumping so that they don’t need to be issued by
the callers, it missed the case where __sev_firmware_shutdown() calls
__sev_platform_shutdown_locked() with a NULL argument which leads to
a NULL ptr deref on the shutdown path, during suspend to disk:

#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) – not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Hardware name: Supermicro Super Server/H12SSL-i, BIOS 2.5 09/08/2022
RIP: 0010:__sev_platform_shutdown_locked.cold+0x0/0x21 [ccp]

That rIP is:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and %rbx is nice and clean.

Pass in a pointer to the function-local error var in the caller.

With that addressed, suspending the ccp shows the error properly at
least:

ccp 0000:47:00.1: sev command 0x2 timed out, disabling PSP
ccp 0000:47:00.1: SEV: failed to SHUTDOWN error 0x0, rc -110
SEV-SNP: Leaking PFN range 0x146800-0x146a00
SEV-SNP: PFN 0x146800 unassigned, dumping non-zero entries in 2M PFN region: [0x146800 – 0x146a00]
…
ccp 0000:47:00.1: SEV-SNP firmware shutdown failed, rc -16, error 0x0
ACPI: PM: Preparing to enter system sleep state S5
kvm: exiting hardware virtualization
reboot: Power down

Btw, this driver is crying to be cleaned up to pass in a proper I/O
struct which can be used to store information between the different
functions, otherwise stuff like that will happen in the future again.
