Similarly, the TLB might be invalid, and the invalidation\nshould be skipped in this case.\n\nBoth kvm_invalidate_vncr_ipa() and kvm_invalidate_vncr_va() are\nexpected to perform the same checks, except that the latter doesn't\ncheck for the allocation and blindly dereferences the pointer.\n\nSolve this by introducing a new iterator built on top of the usual\nkvm_for_each_vcpu() that checks for both of the above conditions,\nand convert the two users to it.","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:09.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-17T05:17:28.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.0016,"percentile":0.05142,"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":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%).
