amd svm

About this tag
The amd svm tag covers Linux kernel KVM vulnerabilities related to AMD Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) nested virtualization. Recent threads discuss CVE entries from May 2026 that fix edge-case bugs in nested guest handling, including VMMCALL hypercall routing, INVLPGA instruction emulation, Last Branch Record save/restore, and NextRIP state management. These issues are narrow and technical, affecting correctness and security boundaries when hypervisors are stacked. The content is relevant for virtualization operators, kernel maintainers, and anyone running nested VM stacks on AMD hardware.

    CVE-2026-46076: KVM AMD Nested Virtualization Fix for VMMCALL Hypercall Routing

    CVE-2026-46076 is a newly published Linux kernel KVM vulnerability, disclosed by kernel.org and recorded by NVD on May 27, 2026, that fixes incorrect AMD nested-virtualization handling of VMMCALL instructions when a second-level guest runs under an L1 hypervisor. The bug is narrow, technical...

    CVE-2026-46082 KVM AMD SVM Fix: INVLPGA Now Raises #UD When SVME Off

    CVE-2026-46082 is a newly published Linux kernel KVM vulnerability, disclosed by kernel.org and listed by NVD on May 27, 2026, that fixes AMD SVM emulation so INVLPGA correctly raises an invalid-opcode exception when EFER.SVME is disabled. That is a mouthful, but the practical story is simpler...

    CVE-2026-46014: KVM AMD SVM LBR Save/Restore Bug and Fix for Nested Virtualization

    CVE-2026-46014 is a Linux kernel KVM vulnerability published by NVD on May 27, 2026, covering broken save-and-restore handling for Last Branch Record model-specific registers in KVM’s AMD SVM virtualization path, with related Intel VMX bookkeeping also corrected. The bug is not the kind of flaw...

    CVE-2026-46059: KVM AMD Nested Virtualization NextRIP Save/Restore Fix

    CVE-2026-46059 is a newly published Linux kernel KVM vulnerability, received by NVD on May 27, 2026, affecting AMD nested virtualization logic in nSVM when KVM restores an L2 guest after its first VMRUN. It is not yet scored by NVD, and the public record still sits in the frustrating “awaiting...
