kernel: iommu: disable SVA when CONFIG_X86 is set

A security vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's IOMMU Shared Virtual Addressing SVA implementation on x86 architecture. When SVA is enabled, the IOMMU caches kernel page table entries. Since the kernel lacks a mechanism to notify the IOMMU when kernel page table pages are freed and...

kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM x86 shadow paging mechanism. This vulnerability occurs when a host page directory entry PDE mapping is changed from within the guest, leading to an unexpected role mismatch in shadow paging. This mismatch can cause a...
