CVE-2026-46076

HighCVSS 7.9/10Last modified Oct 21, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: nSVM: Raise #UD if unhandled VMMCALL isn't intercepted by L1

Explicitly synthesize a #UD for VMMCALL if L2 is active, L1 does NOT want to intercept VMMCALL, nested_svm_l2_tlb_flush_enabled() is true, and the hypercall is something other than one of the supported Hyper-V hypercalls. When all of the above conditions are met, KVM will intercept VMMCALL but never forward it to L1, i.e. will let L2 make hypercalls as if it were L1.

The TLFS says a whole lot of nothing about this scenario, so go with the architectural behavior, which says that VMMCALL #UDs if it's not intercepted.

Opportunistically do a 2-for-1 stub trade by stub-ifying the new API instead of the helpers it uses. The last remaining "single" stub will soon be dropped as well.

[sean: rewrite changelog and comment, tag for stable, remove defunct stubs]
