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

    x86/tdx: Panic on bad configs that #VE on private memory access

    All normal kernel memory is TDX private memory.  This includes
    everything from kernel stacks to kernel text.  Handling
    exceptions on arbitrary accesses to kernel memory is essentially
    impossible because they can happen in horribly nasty places like
    kernel entry/exit.  But, TDX hardware can theoretically _deliver_
    a virtualization exception (#VE) on any access to private memory.

    But, it's not as bad as it sounds.  TDX can be configured to never
    deliver these exceptions on private memory with a TD attribute
    called ATTR_SEPT_VE_DISABLE.  The guest has no way to *set* this
    attribute, but it can check it.

    Ensure ATTR_SEPT_VE_DISABLE is set in early boot.  panic() if it
    is unset.  There is no sane way for Linux to run with this
    attribute clear so a panic() is appropriate.

    There's small window during boot before the check where kernel
    has an early #VE handler. But the handler is only for port I/O
    and will also panic() as soon as it sees any other #VE, such as
    a one generated by a private memory access.

    [ dhansen: Rewrite changelog and rebase on new tdx_parse_tdinfo().
               Add Kirill's tested-by because I made changes since
               he wrote this. ]

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
