CVE-2026-80921
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: vsie: zero stale crypto bits
When shadowing crypto access bits from a format0 apcb (crycb 0 or 1), the bits 64..255 are unchanged from whatever is in the vsie page in the crycb and thus in the apcb. This gives a nested guest potential access to a device no longer available. Zero out the remaining bits.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.13%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
