| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) x86 virtualization module. An incorrect check for nested EPT/NPT (Nested Extended Page Tables/Nested Nested Page Tables) in slow flush hypercalls could lead to improper handling of L2 guests. This vulnerability arises because the `is_guest_mode(vcpu)` check was not sufficient, potentially allowing an L2 guest with nested EPT/NPT enabled to bypass intended security restrictions.
