CVE-2026-43266
•
published on May 6, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EFI/CPER: don't go past the ARM processor CPER record buffer
There's a logic inside GHES/CPER to detect if the section_length
is too small, but it doesn't detect if it is too big.
Currently, if the firmware receives an ARM processor CPER record
stating that a section length is big, kernel will blindly trust
section_length, producing a very long dump. For instance, a 67
bytes record with ERR_INFO_NUM set 46198 and section length
set to 854918320 would dump a lot of data going a way past the
firmware memory-mapped area.
Fix it by adding a logic to prevent it to go past the buffer
if ERR_INFO_NUM is too big, making it report instead:
[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1
[Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable
[Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: recoverable
[Hardware Error]: section_type: ARM processor error
[Hardware Error]: MIDR: 0xff304b2f8476870a
[Hardware Error]: section length: 854918320, CPER size: 67
[Hardware Error]: section length is too big
[Hardware Error]: firmware-generated error record is incorrect
[Hardware Error]: ERR_INFO_NUM is 46198

CVE-2026-43265
•
published on May 6, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events from vcpu_block()
Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after exiting a blocking state
while L2 is active, as exiting to userspace will generate a spurious
userspace exit, usually with KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN, and likely lead to the VM's
demise. Continuing with the wakeup isn't perfect either, as *something*
has gone sideways if a vCPU is awakened in L2 with an injected event (or
worse, a nested run pending), but continuing on gives the VM a decent
chance of surviving without any major side effects.
As explained in the Fixes commits, it _should_ be impossible for a vCPU to
be put into a blocking state with an already-injected event (exception,
IRQ, or NMI). Unfortunately, userspace can stuff MP_STATE and/or injected
events, and thus put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state.
Don't bother trying to preserve the WARN, e.g. with an anti-syzkaller
Kconfig, as WARNs can (hopefully) be added in paths where _KVM_ would be
violating x86 architecture, e.g. by WARNing if KVM attempts to inject an
exception or interrupt while the vCPU isn't running.
