kernel: KVM: nSVM: Always use vmcb01 in VMLOAD/VMSAVE emulation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM nSVM module. When a nested virtual machine L2 guest executes VMSAVE/VMLOAD instructions, and these are not intercepted by the first-level hypervisor L1, KVM incorrectly uses vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 for managing guest state...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virtualization mode when SMM state is toggled The nested virtualization mode is forcibly exited if the user space toggles the SMM state using KVMSETVCPUEVENTS or KVMSYNCX86EVENTS. If the user space...

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: nSVM: Ignore nCR34:0 when loading PDPTEs from memory Ignore nCR34:0 when loading PDPTEs from memory for nested SVMs. When PAE paging is used, the bits 4:0 of the CR3 register are ignored, and thus VMRUN does not enforce a...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the KVM’s AMD code, responsible for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs during the processing of the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest, which is used to spawn or handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the “intct...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the KVM’s AMD code, which handles SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs during the processing of the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the “virtext” field, this issue could all...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Warns when a triple fault assertion never “escapes” from L2 The warnings are removed because they perform a sanity check that ensures KVM never allows a triple fault in L2 to escape and end up in L1. In normal operation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

A flaw was discovered in the AMD nested virtualization SVM feature of the KVM. A malicious L1 guest could intentionally fail to intercept the shutdown of a cooperative nested guest L2, potentially causing a page fault and kernel panic in the host L0...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

A race condition in the x86 KVM subsystem within the Linux kernel, as of 6.1-rc6, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash or host OS memory corruption when nested virtualization is enabled and the TDP MMU is also enabled...

PT-2026-85792

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description An issue exists in the KVM arm64 implementation where the kvm inject el2 exception function writes to the ESR EL2 register for synchronous exceptions but fails to do so for SError...

The vulnerability of the kvm_vcpu_init_nested() function in the arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c module of the virtualization subsystem on the 64-bit ARM-based Linux operating system allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the kvmvcpuinitnested function in the arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c module of the virtualization subsystem on the 64-bit ARM-based Linux operating system is related to the copying of buffers without checking input data. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to...

SUSE CVE-2026-72280

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: nv: Drop bogus WARN for write to ZCREL2 It is entirely possible for a guest to write to the ZCREL2 sysreg alias while in a nested context, as it is expected if FEATNV2 is advertised to the L1 hypervisor. Get rid of th...
