      <title>CVE-2026-64285 — KVM: SEV: Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guest</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-64285</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KVM: SEV: Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guest&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an
SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back
the &amp;#34;correct&amp;#34; CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected
by trusted firmware.  Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel
mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information
is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it&amp;#39;s unlikely for
the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.&lt;/p&gt;
