In TDX\nenvironments with remote attestation, quotes are not considered private,\nand can be forwarded to an attestation server.\n\nCatch scenarios where the host specifies a response length larger than\nthe guest's allocation, or otherwise races modifying the response while\nthe guest consumes it.\n\nThis prevents contents beyond the pages allocated for `quote_buf`\n(up to TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX) from being read out to guest userspace,\nand possibly forwarded in attestation requests.\n\nRecall that some deployments want per-container configs-tsm-report\ninterfaces, so the leak may cross container protection boundaries, not\njust local root.","published":"2026-04-22T14:16:43.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T19:17:56.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787","CWE-125"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02244,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%).
