DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80726
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and clear role.invalid when creating a child shadow page Explicitly clear role.invalid when deriving a child shadow page's role from its parent to harden against bugs elsewhere in KVM, as violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are NOT on the list of active MMU pages leads to use-after-free due to kvmmmupreparezappage() using listadd() instead of listmove() when processing an invalid shadow page, i.e. makes a bad situation far worse. Yell loudly if the parent is invalid, as it means KVM has missed a validity check, i.e. KVM is attempting to map memory using an invalid/obsolete root, but continue on as the child is otherwise still a valid shadow page. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in kvmmmugetshadowpage+0x1817/0x1860 [kvm] Write of size 8 at addr ff11000153dd1368 by task repro/853 CPU: 1 UID: 1000 PID: 853 Comm: repro Not tainted 7.2.0-rc2-3aec122bdcaf-next-vm #5 PREEMPT Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 Call Trace: <TASK> dumpstacklvl+0x4b/0x70 printreport+0x153/0x49c kasanreport+0xbc/0xf0 kvmmmugetshadowpage+0x1817/0x1860 [kvm] mmuallocroot+0x141/0x320 [kvm] kvmmmuload+0x612/0x20f0 [kvm] kvmarchvcpuioctlrun+0x3dd5/0x6150 [kvm] kvmvcpuioctl+0x5e4/0x10d0 [kvm] x64sysioctl+0x131/0x1b0 dosyscall64+0x67/0x5f0 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x4b/0x53 </TASK> Allocated by task 853: kasansavestack+0x20/0x40 kasansavetrack+0x14/0x30 kasanslaballoc+0x5f/0x70 kmemcacheallocnoprof+0xfe/0x2e0 kvmmmutopupmemorycache+0x135/0x530 [kvm] paging64pagefault+0x318/0x1e30 [kvm] kvmmmudopagefault+0x21d/0x630 [kvm] kvmmmupagefault+0x18c/0x17b0 [kvm] kvmarchvcpuioctlrun+0x1f35/0x6150 [kvm] kvmvcpuioctl+0x5e4/0x10d0 [kvm] x64sysioctl+0x131/0x1b0 dosyscall64+0x67/0x5f0 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x4b/0x53 Freed by task 853: kasansavestack+0x20/0x40 kasansavetrack+0x14/0x30 kasansavefreeinfo+0x3b/0x60 kasanslabfree+0x43/0x70 kmemcachefree+0xe2/0x400 kvmmmucommitzappage.part.0+0x1e2/0x310 [kvm] kvmmmufreeroots+0x283/0x560 [kvm] kvmarchvcpuioctlrun+0x33c8/0x6150 [kvm] kvmvcpuioctl+0x5e4/0x10d0 [kvm] _x64sysioctl+0x131/0x1b0 dosyscall64+0x67/0x5f0 entrySYSCALL64after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
