CVE-2026-23401

CVE-2026-23401: In the Linux kernel KVM x86/mmu, a race allowed installing an MMIO SPTE without first zapping an existing shadow-present SPTE when guest memory writes occurred outside KVM’s scope. This could enable a guest‑memory–related fault to leave a shadow SPTE intact when an MMIO SPTE is in...

CVE-2026-23401 KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even when creating an MMIO SPTE

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even when creating an MMIO SPTE When installing an emulated MMIO SPTE, do so after dropping/zapping the existing SPTE if it's shadow-present. While commit a54aa15c6bda3 was right about...

Contrast BadAML injection allows arbitrary code execution

BadAML BadAML is an AML injection attack that exploits the ACPI interface and allows arbitrary code execution in a confidential VM. The attack was first published in 2024: - - Impact An attacker with control over the host which is assumed in the attacker model of Contrast can execute malicious AM...

CVE-2026-23375

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent Huge Pages THP mechanism. This vulnerability occurs because the filethpenabled function incorrectly allows THP for files on anonymous inodes, which are not designed for this feature. An attacker could potentially exploit this by manipulating...

CVE-2026-23375

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: thp: deny THP for files on anonymous inodes filethpenabled incorrectly allows THP for files on anonymous inodes e.g. guestmemfd and secretmem. These files are created via allocfilepseudo, which does not call getwriteaccess an...

EUVD-2026-14382

The Intel EPT paging code uses an optimization to defer flushing of any cached EPT state until the p2m lock is dropped, so that multiple modifications done under the same locked region only issue a single flush. Freeing of paging structures however is not deferred until the flushing is done, and...
