CVE-2026-64508

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Support for hardening against JIT spraying The BPF JIT allocator packs many small programs into larger executable allocations and reuses space within those allocations as programs are loaded and freed. When fresh code is...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Support for hardening against JIT spraying The BPF JIT allocator packs many small programs into larger executable allocations and reuses space within those allocations as programs are loaded and freed. When fresh code is...

CVE-2026-64508

CVE-2026-64508 relates to a Linux kernel vulnerability in BPF JIT memory reuse. The issue arises when the BPF JIT allocator reuses space for new programs, potentially letting indirect jumps reuse stale branch predictions. Fix implemented: flush indirect branch predictors on JIT memory reuse via a...

CVE-2026-23553

In the context switch logic Xen attempts to skip an IBPB in the case of a vCPU returning to a CPU on which it was the previous vCPU to run. While safe for Xen's isolation between vCPUs, this prevents the guest kernel correctly isolating between tasks. Consider: 1 vCPU runs on CPU A, running task ...

kernel: x86/vmscape: Add conditional IBPB mitigation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/vmscape: Add conditional IBPB mitigation VMSCAPE is a vulnerability that exploits insufficient branch predictor isolation between a guest and a userspace hypervisor like QEMU. Existing mitigations already protect kernel/KVM...
