CVE-2026-63938

The vulnerability CVE-2026-63938 affects the Linux kernel KVM SEV path, specifically PSC processing. The issue arises when validating PSC requests: the PSC buffer must be checked against the effective size of the scratch area, which may be smaller than the maximum if a guest supplies a pointer no...

CVE-2026-63794

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Fix page overflow in sevdbgcrypt for ENCRYPT path In sevdbgcrypt, the per-iteration transfer length is bounded by the source page offset PAGESIZE - soff but not by the destination page offset PAGESIZE - doff. When doff...

kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM x86 shadow paging mechanism. This vulnerability occurs when a host page directory entry PDE mapping is changed from within the guest, leading to an unexpected role mismatch in shadow paging. This mismatch can cause a...

kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFN

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine x86 shadow paging mechanism. This use-after-free vulnerability arises from incorrect handling of Guest Frame Numbers GFNs when guest page tables are modified. A local attacker with control over a guest virtual machine could...

PT-2026-52372

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description In the arm64 KVM implementation, the functions walk s1 and kvm walk nested s2 require the kvm-srcu lock to be held to prevent issues during memslot changes. However, kvm at s12 and kvm...

CVE-2026-52969

CVE-2026-52969 affects the Linux kernel KVM component. The vulnerability stems from an unchecked u64 addition in kvm_reset_dirty_gfn(), where the guard if (!memslot || (offset + __fls(mask)) >= memslot->npages) can be bypassed due to offset being 64‑bit. This can allow an out-of-bounds load...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Prevent RSB underflow before vmenter Regarding VMX, there are some balanced returns between the time the guest’s SPECCTRL value is written and the vmenter. Balanced returns matched by a preceding call are usually...

Linux kernel 安全漏洞

The Linux kernel is the core of the open-source operating system Linux, developed by the Linux Foundation in the United States. There is a security vulnerability in the Linux kernel, which stems from a scan competition condition in KVM, and it could lead to system crashes...

CVE-2026-46131 KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls Checking isguestmodevcpu is incorrect, because translatenestedgpa is only valid if an L2 guest is running with nested EPT/NPT enabled. Instead use the same condition as...

CVE-2026-46071

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Avoid clearing VMCBLBR in vmcb12 svmcopylbrs always marks VMCBLBR dirty in the destination VMCB. However, nestedsvmvmexit uses it to copy LBRs to vmcb12, and clearing clean bits in vmcb12 is not architecturally defined...

Linux kernel 安全漏洞

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the Linux operating system developed by the Linux Foundation in the United States. There is a security vulnerability in the Linux kernel, which stems from the KVM SVM module not properly injecting UD exceptions when EFER.SVME=0 is set. This may lead to...

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...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86 – Mark the target gfn of the emulated atomic instruction as dirty When emulating an atomic access on behalf of the guest, mark the target gfn as dirty if the CMPXCHG instruction attempts to be executed and fails without ...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: smm: the number of GPRs in the SMRAM image depends on the image format. On 64-bit hosts, if the guest does not have X86FEATURELM, KVM will access 16 GPRs to the 32-bit SMMR image, resulting in an out-of-bound RAM access...
