CVE-2026-31593

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SEV: Reject attempts to sync VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU Reject synchronizing vCPU state to its associated VMSA if the vCPU has already been launched, i.e. if the VMSA has already been encrypted. On a host with SNP enabled, accessing guest-private memory generates an RMP #PF and panics the host. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff1276cbfdf36000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x80000003) - RMP violation PGD 5a31801067 P4D 5a31802067 PUD 40ccfb5063 PMD 40e5954063 PTE 80000040fdf36163 SEV-SNP: PFN 0x40fdf36, RMP entry: [0x6010fffffffff001 - 0x000000000000001f] Oops: Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 33 UID: 0 PID: 996180 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Tainted: G OE Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE Hardware name: Dell Inc.

With SEV-ES, KVM would "just" clobber guest state, which is totally fine from a host kernel perspective since userspace can clobber guest state any time before sev_launch_update_vmsa().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: KVM: SEV: Rechazar intentos de sincronizar la VMSA de una vCPU ya iniciada/cifrada Rechazar la sincronización del estado de la vCPU con su VMSA asociada si la vCPU ya ha sido iniciada, es decir, si la VMSA ya ha sido cifrada. En un host con SNP habilitado, acceder a la memoria privada del invitado genera un RMP #PF y provoca un pánico en el host. ERROR: no se puede manejar el fallo de página para la dirección: ff1276cbfdf36000 #PF: acceso de escritura de supervisor en modo kernel #PF: error_code(0x 80000003) - violación de RMP PGD 5a31801067 P4D 5a31802067 PUD 40ccfb5063 PMD 40e5954063 PTE 80000040fdf36163 SEV-SNP: PFN 0x 40fdf36, RMP entry: [0x 6010fffffffff001 - 0x 000000000000001f] Oops: Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 33 UID: 0 PID: 996180 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Tainted: G OE Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE Nombre del hardware: Dell Inc.

Con SEV-ES, KVM ’simplemente’ sobrescribiría el estado del invitado, lo cual está totalmente bien desde la perspectiva del kernel del host ya que el espacio de usuario puede sobrescribir el estado del invitado en cualquier momento antes de sev_launch_update_vmsa().
