Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64287)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds access in flush_hyp_vcpu() and the vGIC list register save and restore logic when copying host-controlled vgic_v3 state into the pKVM hyp vCPU. A local privileged user can provide a crafted used_lrs value to trigger out-of-bounds access at EL2 to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects arm64 KVM with pKVM and involves host-to-EL2 state transfer.
