It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31591 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31591/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31591/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31591","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31591/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31591","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83819","BELL-CVE-2026-31591","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31591","GHSA-fvvw-8gw5-vw5f","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31591","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31591","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31591","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31591"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel KVM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in KVM SEV allows userspace to corrupt vCPU state or crash the host kernel during SNP launch finish.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: SEV: Lock all vCPUs when synchronzing VMSAs for SNP launch finish\n\nLock all vCPUs when synchronizing and encrypting VMSAs for SNP guests, as\nallowing userspace to manipulate and/or run a vCPU while its state is being\nsynchronized would at best corrupt vCPU state, and at worst crash the host\nkernel.\n\nOpportunistically assert that vcpu-\u003emutex is held when synchronizing its\nVMSA (the SEV-ES path already locks vCPUs).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"KVM: SEV: Lock all vCPUs when synchronzing VMSAs for SNP launch finish","id":"CVE-2026-31591","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"KVM: SEV: Protect *all* of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm-\u003elock","id":"CVE-2026-31592"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"KVM: SEV: Drop WARN on large size for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION","id":"CVE-2026-31590"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-14","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in KVM SEV allows userspace to corrupt vCPU state or crash the host kernel during SNP launch finish.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31591/"}
