    (CVE-2026-61476)

    QEMU's 9pfs readonly check at line 2108-2109 tests mode & O_TRUNC and mode & O_APPEND against the raw 9P
    open mode byte. For the 9P2000.u protocol, mode uses 9P flag values (Otrunc=0x10, Oappend=0x80), but the
    check compares against Linux constants (O_TRUNC=0x200, O_APPEND=0x400). Since 0x10 & 0x200 = 0 and 0x80 &
    0x400 = 0, both flags bypass the readonly guard. The mode is then correctly converted to host flags via
    omode_to_uflags(), so open() is called with O_TRUNC -- truncating host files on readonly shares.9P2000.L
    is NOT affected (guest passes Linux flags directly, so the bit values match). (CVE-2026-63318)

    Host-side AddressSanitizer heap-buffer-overflow READ in current QEMU master through the virtio-net-pci
    receive filtering path on q35. The crash is in receive_filter(). (CVE-2026-63320)

    (CVE-2026-65928)

    A flaw was found in QEMU. The VAPIC setup hypercall in hw/i386/vapic.c does not validate that the writable
    RAM alias remains within the option ROM window. A privileged guest user on a Q35/KVM machine can position
    this alias over locked SMRAM, bypassing chipset D_LCK protection and injecting code into System Management
    Mode memory. (CVE-2026-81627)
