New Linux Kernel Flaw Gives ARM64 KVM Guests Read-Write Access to Host Memory

A new flaw in the Linux kernel's KVM virtualization code for ARM64 processors can leave a freed piece of host memory exposed to a guest virtual machine on hosts with nested virtualization enabled. The bug, tracked as CVE-2026-89775, allows a guest to read and write host kernel memory, and the...

SUSE CVE-2026-89929

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nVM: Ensure INVVPID is emulated on the correct physical CPU When emulating INVVPID, KVM executes INVVPID on the physical CPU using vpid02 instead of the L1 assigned VPID, after doing some validations on the operands. However...

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...

CVE-2026-89929

CVE-2026-89929 affects the Linux kernel KVM subsystem, specifically the nested virtualization (nVM ) code path that emulates the INVVPID instruction. When a guest L1 vCPU migrates between physical CPUs and issues INVVPID, KVM executes the instruction on the current physical CPU rather than the on...

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 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 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...

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...
