Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-28 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-28 12:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls

Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because translate_nested_gpa() is only valid if an L2 guest is running with nested EPT/NPT enabled. Instead use the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself.
