"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-23141 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Acquire SRCU in
    KVM_GET_MP_STATE to protect guest memory accesses Acquire a lock on kvm->srcu when userspace is getting MP
    state to handle a rather extreme edge case where accepting APIC events, i.e. processing pending INIT or
    SIPI, can trigger accesses to guest memory. If the vCPU is in L2 with INIT *and* a TRIPLE_FAULT request
    pending, then getting MP state will trigger a nested VM-Exit by way of ->check_nested_events(), and
    emuating the nested VM-Exit can access guest memory. The splat was originally hit by syzkaller on a
    Google-internal kernel, and reproduced on an upstream kernel by hacking the triple_fault_event_test
    selftest to stuff a pending INIT, store an MSR on VM-Exit (to generate a memory access on VMX), and do
    vcpu_mp_state_get() to trigger the scenario. ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
