In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: KVM: VMX: Fixed a crash caused by uninitialized currentvmcs. KVM enables “Enlightened VMCS” and “Enlightened MSR Bitmap” when running as a nested hypervisor on top of Hyper-V. When the MSR bitmap is updated, the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Check instead of asserting on nested TSC scaling support Check for nested TSC scaling support on nested SVM VMRUN instead of asserting that TSC scaling is exposed to L1 if L1’s MSRAMD64TSCRATIO has diverged from KVM’s...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A issue was discovered in Linux: improper handling of VMIO|VMPFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO checks and cause pages to be freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users who have the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, potentially leading ...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virtualization mode when SMM state is toggled The nested virtualization mode is forcibly exited if the user space toggles the SMM state using KVMSETVCPUEVENTS or KVMSYNCX86EVENTS. If the user space...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

A flaw was discovered in KVM. When updating a guest’s page table entry, vmpgoff was incorrectly used as the offset to obtain the page’s pfn. Since vaddr and vmpgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

A race condition in the x86 KVM subsystem within the Linux kernel, as of 6.1-rc6, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash or host OS memory corruption when nested virtualization is enabled and the TDP MMU is also enabled...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Immediately reset the MMU context when the SMM flag is cleared The MMU context should be reset immediately when the SMM flag of the vCPU is cleared, so that the SMM flag in the MMU context is always synchronized with th...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s KVM module. This flaw can lead to a denial of service in the x86emulateinsn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c. The flaw occurs when an illegal instruction is executed on the guest CPU of the Intel model...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: fix in setting the fpc register The function kvmarchvcpuioctlsetfpu allows for setting the floating-point control fpc register of a guest CPU. The new value is validated by temporarily loading it into the fpc register...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 6.1, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: KVM: x86: Acquiring kvm-srcu when handling KVMSETVCPUEVENTS Acquire kvm-srcu when processing KVMSETVCPUEVENTS. When SMM mode is toggled, KVM will forcibly leave the nested VMX/SVM state. Leaving such a state also results in...

EUVD-2026-55474

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Bump asidgeneration on CPU online to avoid ASID collision after hotplug If a vCPU stays scheduled out or blocked while the last pCPU it ran on goes through a hotplug cycle online-offline-online, and the vCPU then resume...

CVE-2026-68081 KVM: nVMX: Put vmcs12 pages if nested VM-Enter fails due to invalid guest state

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nVMX: Put vmcs12 pages if nested VM-Enter fails due to invalid guest state Put all vmcs12 pages if KVM synthesizes a nested VM-Exit due to invalid guest while emulating VMLAUNCH or VMRESUME. The invalid guest state path...

kernel: KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O

A flaw was found in the Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM for x86. This vulnerability occurs when KVM incorrectly re-checks Level 1 L1 intercepts during the completion of userspace I/O emulation for a Level 2 L2 instruction. If the L1 or host userspace modifies I/O interception settings during thi...

CVE-2026-64604 KVM: VMX: Grab vmcs12 on CR8 interception update iff vCPU is in guest mode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Grab vmcs12 on CR8 interception update iff vCPU is in guest mode When updating CR8 intercepts, get vmcs12 if and only if the vCPU is in guest mode so that a future change can have update CR8 intercepts during vCPU...
