CVE-2026-74516

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC is...

CVE-2026-74516

The CVE-2026-74516 entry concerns the Linux kernel KVM: SVM flaw where, if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active, KVM may run L1 with AVIC disabled but with x2APIC MSR intercepts disabled. This allows L1 to access most of the host APIC state, send arbitrary interrupts, change task priority, and po...

CVE-2019-3887

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Register MSR access with nested=1 virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash th...
