CVE-2022-49932 KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Do all initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace Call kvminit only after all setup is complete, as kvminit exposes /dev/kvm to userspace and thus allows userspace to create VMs and call other ioctls. E.g. KVM...

CVE-2022-49932

CVE-2022-49932 affects the Linux kernel KVM/vMX path where /dev/kvm is exposed before VMX initialization is complete. The EulerOS advisories (EulerOS-SA-2025-2464/2483, EulerOS-SA-2025-2436/2447) flag this issue as part of kernel fixes and describe the root cause as incomplete initialization prio...

CVE-2022-49883

CVE-2022-49883 is a Linux kernel KVM x86 vulnerability related to SMM handling. The issue arises because the number of general purpose registers (GPRs) used for the SMRAM image depends on the image format. On 64‑bit hosts, if the guest lacks X86_FEATURE_LM, KVM may access 16 GPRs for a 32‑bit SMR...
