5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
Details

A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke the VMGEXIT handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple times, they can trigger a stack overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially guest-to-host escape in kernel configurations without stack guard pages (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK).
