Doc Text:
A flaw was found in AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). Due to improper validation of exceptional conditions, a privileged local attacker can overlap memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) address ranges with dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) regions. This flaw allows an attacker to alter protected memory contents and compromise the integrity of guest virtual machines.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 22:22:06 UTC
Improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions in AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) could allow a privileged attacker to potentially overlap MMIO regions with DRAM regions resulting in loss of integrity.
