CVE-2026-23402

Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—

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

KVM: x86/mmu: Only WARN in direct MMUs when overwriting shadow-present SPTE

Adjust KVM's sanity check against overwriting a shadow-present SPTE with a another SPTE with a different target PFN to only apply to direct MMUs, i.e. only to MMUs without shadowed gPTEs. While it's impossible for KVM to overwrite a shadow-present SPTE in response to a guest write, writes from outside the scope of KVM, e.g. from host userspace, aren't detected by KVM's write tracking and so can break KVM's shadow paging rules.
