Input validation

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 "virtext" field, this issue could allow a malicious...

CVE-2021-3656

CVE-2021-3656 describes a flaw in the KVM hypervisor for AMD processors where the L1 guest can provide a VMCB with an improperly validated virt_ext field, allowing the L1 to disable VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS for the L2 guest. This enables the L2 guest to read/write portions of the host’s p...
