About this tag
The cve 2026 63806 tag covers a guest-triggerable crash in Linux KVM host systems involving the ioeventfd datamatch path. The issue affects KVM x86 virtualization environments when guests can access the relevant MMIO configuration. Tagged coverage identifies stable fixes in Linux kernel 6.12.95, 6.18.38, and 7.1.3, with the change also included in 7.2-rc1. This vulnerability is focused on Linux-based QEMU/KVM hosts rather than Microsoft Hyper-V. Standard Windows 11, Windows Server, Hyper-V, and WSL2 deployments do not use Linux KVM as their host hypervisor, so administrators should assess Linux virtualization infrastructure separately.
