CVE-2026-46317 — KVM: arm64: Reassign nested_mmus array behind mmu_lock

Affected: Linux

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

KVM: arm64: Reassign nested_mmus array behind mmu_lock

kvm->arch.nested_mmus[] is walked under kvm->mmu_lock, including from the MMU notifier path (kvm_unmap_gfn_range() -> kvm_nested_s2_unmap()), which can run at any time. kvm_vcpu_init_nested() reallocates the array and frees the old buffer while holding only kvm->arch.config_lock, so such a walker can reference the freed array.

Allocate the new array outside of mmu_lock, as the allocation can sleep. Under the lock, copy the existing entries, fix up the back pointers and reassign the array. Free the old buffer after dropping the lock, as kvfree() can sleep as well.

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
