CVE-2026-31592 — KVM: SEV: Protect all of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock

Affected: Linux

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

KVM: SEV: Protect *all* of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock

Take and hold kvm->lock for before checking sev_guest() in sev_mem_enc_register_region(), as sev_guest() isn't stable unless kvm->lock is held (or KVM can guarantee KVM_SEV_INIT{2} has completed and can't rollack state). If KVM_SEV_INIT{2} fails, KVM can end up trying to add to a not-yet-initialized sev->regions_list, e.g. triggering a #GP

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - EDAC drivers; - GPU drivers; - Greybus drivers; - HID subsystem; - Microsoft Hyper-V drivers; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - IBM Advanced System Management driver; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - NTB driver; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - PCI subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - Realtek RTL8723BS SDIO drivers; - SM750 framebuffer staging driver; - Thermal drivers; - USB Gadget drivers; - USB over IP driver; - VFIO drivers; - Framebuffer layer; - 9P distributed file system; - AFS file…
