CVE-2026-53277: KVM: arm64: Take the SRCU lock for page table walks in fault injection and AT emulation

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.10% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0648b375aa951cc15d9e90f9ac4de71e0b51fa45, 97706097f9b851cfe55c3b00b083dfc2bcf542bc, ec42b4ed1b072ea2d03f086061aa67bad6d8de39.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0648b375aa951cc15d9e90f9ac4de71e0b51fa45, 97706097f9b851cfe55c3b00b083dfc2bcf542bc, ec42b4ed1b072ea2d03f086061aa67bad6d8de39 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Take the SRCU lock for page table walks in fault injection and AT emulation walk_s1() and kvm_walk_nested_s2() expect to be called while holding kvm->srcu to guard against memslot changes. While this is generally the case, __kvm_at_s12() and __kvm_find_s1_desc_level() call into the respective walkers without taking kvm->srcu. Fix by acquiring kvm->srcu prior to the table walk in both instances.
