CVE-2026-72281

The CVE-2026-72281 entry concerns the Linux kernel KVM arm64/pKVM reclaim against the VM memory manager. The issue arose because protected guest faults could pin long-term resources to the VM’s mm (memory descriptor), and teardown could execute later from file release with current->mm potentia...

CVE-2026-72279 KVM: arm64: nv: Respect read-only PFN when mapping L1 VNCR

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: nv: Respect read-only PFN when mapping L1 VNCR KVM currently maps the L1 VNCR into the host stage-1 by relying entirely on the permissions of the guest stage-1. At the same time, it is entirely possible that the backi...

CVE-2026-72279

The CVE-2026-72279 entry concerns the Linux kernel KVM arm64 implementation for the L1 VNCR mapping. The fix ensures that the host stage-1 mapping respects the read-only status of the guest PFN by caching PFN writability in the VNCR TLB and using this to constrain fixmap permissions. If a guest t...

CVE-2026-72280

CVE-2026-72280 concerns the Linux kernel KVM on arm64. The vulnerability arises from a logic issue where a guest could write to the ZCR_EL2 sysreg alias in a nested context if FEAT_NV2 is advertised to the L1 hypervisor. The fix is to drop the bogus WARN that could lead to a hyp_panic once hyp ve...

CVE-2026-72278 KVM: arm64: nv: Re-translate VNCR before injecting abort

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: nv: Re-translate VNCR before injecting abort KVM faults in the VNCR page with FOLLWRITE whenever the guest aborts for a write, similar to how a regular stage-2 mapping is handled. It is entirely possible that the gues...

CVE-2026-72278

In CVE-2026-72278, the Linux kernel KVM for arm64 mitigates a VNCR abort handling issue by invalidating the VNCR TLB and re-fetching the translation when a VNCR abort occurs. This allows the host mapping to be faulted in for write on the second attempt, addressing a scenario where a guest could r...

CVE-2026-72277

Summary (CVE-2026-72277): In the Linux kernel’s KVM for arm64, the L1 VNCR mapping logic now rejects non-memory PFNs when constructing VNCR mappings, due to unconditional use of cacheable memory attributes that could trigger an SError on writeback. The vulnerability affected KVM’s handling of VNC...
