      <title>CVE-2026-98471 — KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98471</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host
migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is
destroyed.  Because the source VM is &amp;#34;converted&amp;#34; to a non-SEV VM, KVM&amp;#39;s
memory reclaim flows won&amp;#39;t trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest
memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn&amp;#39;t an option
as KVM doesn&amp;#39;t require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the
source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not.
Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would
require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are
the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
