Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

The Linux kernel allows user-space processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with PRSETSPECULATIONCTRL, which disables the speculation feature, as well as through the use of seccomp. We noticed that on virtual machines of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The ibprctlset function updates the Thread Information Flags TIFs for the task and updates the SPECCTRL MSR in the function speculationctrlupdate, but the IBPB is only issued at the next schedul...

EUVD-2026-9392

In the context switch logic Xen attempts to skip an IBPB in the case of a vCPU returning to a CPU on which it was the previous vCPU to run. While safe for Xen's isolation between vCPUs, this prevents the guest kernel correctly isolating between tasks. Consider: 1 vCPU runs on CPU A, running task ...

CVE-2026-23553

CVE-2026-23553 is an issue in the Xen hypervisor: during context switches, Xen may skip IBPB when a vCPU returns to the same physical CPU, potentially allowing stale BTB/GPU state to persist across tasks and undermine guest kernel isolation. The advisory chain shows the vulnerability is tied to i...
