5.5 MEDIUM — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because translate_nested_gpa() is only valid if an L2 guest is running *with nested EPT/NPT enabled*. Instead use the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.140) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.88) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.30) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.7) • linux linux kernel 7.1
