CVE-2026-64562

CVE-2026-64562 : In the Linux kernel KVM nVMX, a shadow VMCS could be freed prematurely by free_nested() while vmcs01 still referenced it. Since this occurs asynchronously with respect to loaded_vmcs_clear(), a vCPU could migrate and __loaded_vmcs_clear() may then execute VMCLEAR. The vulnerabili...

kernel: KVM: x86: Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available

A flaw was found in KVM in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs due to improper validation of memory management unit MMU page roots after these pages are made available. An attacker could exploit this by triggering a scenario where KVM attempts to map memory into an invalid root, causing...

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...
