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...

CVE-2026-42487 x86 HVM I/O port list traversal

HVM guest I/O port accesses are subject to either emulation or at least translation. Translations are managed by the device model via XENDOMCTLioportmapping, and hence the linked list used may changed at any time. Traversal of those lists while handling guest I/O port accesses therefore needs...

CVE-2026-46295

CVE-2026-46295 involves the Linux kernel KVM/x86 interrupt handling fix. The patch ensures IRR is scanned via __kvm_apic_update_irr even when PIR is empty, falling back to apic_find_highest_vector() when PID.ON is set but PIR is empty, so the highest pending interrupt is reported from the existin...

CVE-2023-53208

CVE-2023-53208 : Linux kernel KVM nested virtualization flaw where L1’s TSC multiplier is loaded based on L1 state instead of L2, causing a mismatch that userspace can trigger via MSR writes and guest CPUID changes. The fix ensures L1’s multiplier is loaded when exiting nested VM, preventing the ...

UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21839

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Load DR6 with guest value only before entering .vcpurun loop Move the conditional loading of hardware DR6 with the guest's DR6 value out of the core .vcpurun loop to fix a bug where KVM can load hardware with a stale...

kernel: SVM nested virtualization issue in KVM (AVIC support)

A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the "intctl" field, this issue could allow a malicious ...
