Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:02:36 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: SEV: Check PSC request indices against the actual size of the buffer

When processing Page State Change (PSC) requests, validate the PSC buffer
against the effective size of the scratch area, which could be less than
the maximum size if the guest provided a pointer that isn't exactly at the
start of the GHCB shared buffer.
