Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89930

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150353

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89930

CWE-ID: CWE-703

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause stale TLB translations to be used.

The vulnerability exists due to failure to service queued local TLB flush requests in KVM nVMX nested VM-entry handling when a nested VM entry fails after switching to the L2 context. A remote attacker can change L2's VPID and trigger a failed nested VM entry to cause stale TLB translations to be used.
