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-2026-53345 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-2026-53345/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53345/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53345","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53345/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53345","record":{"aliases":["AZL-91616","BELL-CVE-2026-53345","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53345","GHSA-m28w-5q4v-5m48","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53345","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53345","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53345","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53345","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53345"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel KVM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in KVM triggers a kernel warning when SEV-ES VMs are destroyed, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying\n\nWhen marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU\nif and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero.  This\nwill allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what\nis effectively a false positive on the WARN.\n\nFor some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page\nacross an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next\nKVM_RUN.  But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM\nneeds to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers\nthe WARN about not having a running vCPU.\n\nAlternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN,\nas is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons;\nsuppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance).  But\nloading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be\ncleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure\nthe temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded),\nand is ultimately pointless.\n\nThe motivation for the WARN is to guard against KVM dirtying guest memory\nwithout pushing the corresponding GFN to the active vCPU's dirty ring, e.g.\nto ensure userspace doesn't miss a dirty page.  But for the VM's refcount\nto reach zero, there can't be _any_ userspace mappings to the dirty ring,\nas mapping the dirty ring requires doing mmap() on the vCPU FD.  I.e. if\nuserspace had a valid mapping for the dirty ring, then the vCPU file and\nthus the owning VM would still be alive.  And so since userspace can't\npossibly reach the dirty ring, whether or not KVM technically \"misses\" a\npush to the dirty ring is irrelevant.","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: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying","id":"CVE-2026-53345","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"rust: arm64: set uwtable llvm module flag for CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES","id":"CVE-2026-53346"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"pinctrl: mcp23s08: Initialize mcp-\u003edev and mcp-\u003eaddr before regmap init","id":"CVE-2026-53344"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-07-01","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-10","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A logic error in KVM triggers a kernel warning when SEV-ES VMs are destroyed, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53345/"}
