CVE-2025-21839

CVE-2025-21839 concerns the Linux kernel KVM DR6 handling. The core issue is that DR6 value loading was handled differently from DR0–DR3, with the guest DR6 value being loaded inside the core vcpu_run loop for KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED, and saved on VM-Exit outside the loop. This could allow a gues...

DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49611

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/speculation: Fill RSB on vmexit for IBRS Prevent RSB underflow/poisoning attacks with RSB.

PT-2025-10071

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description A bug in the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine implementation allows the guest's DR6 value to be clobbered when the guest modifies DR6 and then a fastpath VM-Exit occurs...

hw: amd: Instruction raise #VC exception at exit

A vulnerability was found in AMD SEV-SNP, where a malicious hypervisor can potentially break confidentiality and integrity of SEV-SNP on Linux guests by injecting interrupts. An attacker can inject interrupt 0x80, which is used by Linux for legacy 32-bit system calls, and arbitrarily change the...

kernel: KVM: nVMX: missing IBPB when exiting from nested guest can lead to Spectre v2 attacks

A flaw was found in the KVM's Intel nested virtualization feature nVMX. Since L1 and L2 shared branch prediction modes guest-user and guest-kernel, KVM did not protect indirect branches in L1 from steering by a malicious agent in L2. This could allow a malicious nested guest to carry out Spectre ...
