kernel: KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active

A flaw was found in KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine. When the Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller AVIC is inhibited while a nested guest L2 is active, KVM fails to properly update x2APIC MSR intercepts for the primary guest L1. This allows the L1 guest to read the host's APIC state, send...

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...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Do not recheck L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O When completing emulation of instructions that generate a userspace exit for I/O, do not recheck L1 intercepts since KVM has already completed that phase of...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even if L2 is active and KVM uses a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC is ful...

CVE-2026-74516

A flaw was found in KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine. When the Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller AVIC is inhibited while a nested guest L2 is active, KVM fails to properly update x2APIC MSR intercepts for the primary guest L1. This allows the L1 guest to read the host's APIC state, send...

AZL-96150 CVE-2026-74516 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.152.1-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC is...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74516

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC is...

CVE-2026-74516

The CVE-2026-74516 issue affects the Linux kernel (KVM/SMV) where, if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active, the host may run L1 with AVIC disabled and with x2APIC MSR intercepts also disabled. This allows L1 to access the host APIC state, trigger arbitrary interrupts, modify task priority, and co...

EUVD-2026-53790

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...

CVE-2026-64604

CVE-2026-64604 concerns the Linux kernel KVM VMX path, where CR8 intercept updates are performed: the VMCS12 state is grabbed only when the vCPU is in guest mode to avoid a lockdep assertion in get_vmcs12(). The provided description and call trace show that the issue arises during vCPU creation a...
