About this tag
AMD nested virtualization refers to running a hypervisor inside a virtual machine, enabling scenarios like lab clouds, CI farms, and developer environments. On WindowsForum, discussions focus on Linux KVM vulnerabilities affecting AMD nested virtualization, such as CVE-2026-45987 and CVE-2026-46071. These bugs involve state handling errors that can cause L2 virtual machines to hang after restore or migration, or incorrectly dirty the LBR clean bit in the VMCB. While not Windows bugs, they matter for Windows workloads running on Linux/KVM infrastructure, including nested virtualization stacks. The tag covers security, stability, and operational impacts for enterprise IT and virtualization-heavy environments.

    CVE-2026-46071 KVM Nested Virtualization Fix: LBR Clean Bit in AMD nSVM

    CVE-2026-46071 is a Linux kernel KVM vulnerability published by NVD on May 27, 2026, affecting AMD nested virtualization code where KVM’s nSVM path incorrectly dirtied the LBR clean bit in a guest-owned VMCB during nested VM exit handling. The fix is small, but the signal is not: modern...
