CVE-2026-43315

CVE-2026-43315 involves the Linux kernel KVM nSVM warning path. Technical details across connected docs show that a user-triggerable WARN is raised in svm_set_nested_state() when nested_svm_load_cr3() succeeds, and the patch removes this WARN. The rationale is that userspace can easily trigger th...

kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Privilege escalation or denial of service due to improper shadow page table entry handling

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM component. A local attacker with privileges on the host system could exploit a vulnerability in how KVM handles shadow page table entries SPTEs during memory-mapped I/O MMIO operations. By manipulating guest page table entrie...

CVE-2026-43133

Summary: CVE-2026-43133 affects Linux kernel KVM’s nested virtualization (nSVM). When an L2 guest executes VMSAVE/VMLOAD and is not intercepted by L1, KVM may incorrectly use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 for guest state handling due to an oversight in VMLOAD/VMSAVE emulation after a patch. The root c...
