Doc Text:
A flaw was found in linux-firmware. Due to incorrect seed handling in the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) within the AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware, a malicious hypervisor or migration agent can import a forged guest context. This flaw leads to information disclosure, compromising the confidentiality of derived guest encryption keys.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 22:22:20 UTC
Incorrect usage of seeds in pseudo-random number generator in the Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware could allow a malicious hypervisor or migration agent to import a forged guest context potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality for derived guest keys.
