      <title>CVE-2026-79609 — x86: XPTI may break on huge-memory systems</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-79609</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Xen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;XPTI (Xen Page Table Isolation) was introduced to mitigate Meltdown
(CVE-2017-5754, one aspect of XSA-254).  This involves copying 64-bit PV
guest page table entries from guest-chosen root page tables to the Xen-
chosen one which is in actual use by hardware.  To read the guest root
page table, the directmap is used.  PV guests, however, have a directmap
which may not cover all memory; in particular this is the case if any
memory extends beyond the 5 TiB (CONFIG_BIGMEM=y: 3.5 TiB) address
boundary.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
