Description
In OpenXiangShan NEMU prior to 55295c4, when running with RVH (Hypervisor extension) enabled, a VS-mode guest write to the supervisor interrupt-enable CSR (sie) may be handled incorrectly and can influence machine-level interrupt enable state (mie). This breaks privilege/virtualization isolation and can lead to denial of service or privilege-boundary violation in environments relying on NEMU for correct interrupt virtualization.
