Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-27 15:08:52 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: nSVM: Avoid clearing VMCB_LBR in vmcb12

svm_copy_lbrs() always marks VMCB_LBR dirty in the destination VMCB.
However, nested_svm_vmexit() uses it to copy LBRs to vmcb12, and
clearing clean bits in vmcb12 is not architecturally defined.

Move vmcb_mark_dirty() to callers and drop it for vmcb12.

This also facilitates incoming refactoring that does not pass the entire
VMCB to svm_copy_lbrs().
