CVE-2026-23005CVE-2026-23005
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Clear XSTATE_BV[i] in guest XSAVE state whenever XFD[i]=1
When loading guest XSAVE state via KVM_SET_XSAVE, and when updating XFD in
response to a guest WRMSR, clear XFD-disabled features in the saved (or to
be restored) XSTATE_BV to ensure KVM doesn't attempt to load state for
features that are disabled via the guest's XFD. Because the kernel
executes XRSTOR with the guest's XFD, saving XSTATE_BV[i]=1 with XFD[i]=1
will cause XRSTOR to #NM and panic the kernel.
E.g. if fpu_update_guest_xfd() sets XFD without clearing XSTATE_BV:
