CVE-2026-63941

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM for arm64 architecture. This vulnerability allows a guest hypervisor with Virtualization Host Extensions VHE to bypass intended security controls. By manipulating the SVE Control Register ZCREL2 through an untrapped access, a...

CVE-2026-63941 KVM: arm64: Correctly cap ZCR_EL2 provided by a guest hypervisor

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Correctly cap ZCREL2 provided by a guest hypervisor ZCREL2 can be updated by a VHE guest hypervisor either using ZCREL2 which traps or ZCREL1 which does not trap. KVM handles both in different way: - on ZCREL2 trap,...

x86: incomplete IBPB for vCPU isolation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION In the context switch logic Xen attempts to skip an IBPB in the case of a vCPU returning to a CPU on which it was the previous vCPU to run. While safe for Xen's isolation between vCPUs, this prevents the guest kernel correctly isolating between tasks. Consider: 1 vCPU runs on CP...
