      <title>CVE-2026-98638 — KVM: arm64: Validate the SVE vector length in pkvm_vcpu_init_sve()</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98638</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: arm64: Validate the SVE vector length in pkvm_vcpu_init_sve()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pkvm_vcpu_init_sve() clamps only the upper bound of the host-provided
sve_max_vl, so an invalid vector length reaches sve_state_size_from_vl()
and the WARN_ON() there, which is fatal at EL2. The existing
!sve_state_size test rejects such a length, but only after the macro has
run.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check sve_vl_valid() before deriving the state size. A valid length
cannot yield a zero size, so the !sve_state_size test goes with it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
