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-2026-64604 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-64604/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64604/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-64604","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64604/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-64604","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-64604","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64604","GHSA-m98c-vhm9-hw9c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64604"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel KVM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service in KVM by creating a vCPU while nested virtualization is active.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: VMX: Grab vmcs12 on CR8 interception update iff vCPU is in guest mode\n\nWhen updating CR8 intercepts, get vmcs12 if and only if the vCPU is in\nguest mode so that a future change can have update CR8 intercepts during\nvCPU creation, without running afoul of get_vmcs12()'s lockdep assertion.\n\n  ------------[ cut here ]------------\n  debug_locks \u0026\u0026 !(lock_is_held(\u0026(\u0026vcpu-\u003emutex)-\u003edep_map) || !refcount_read(\u0026vcpu-\u003ekvm-\u003eusers_count))\n  WARNING: arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.h:61 at get_vmcs12 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.h:60 [inline], CPU#0: syz.2.19/5879\n  WARNING: arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.h:61 at vmx_update_cr8_intercept+0x3de/0x4e0 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:6879, CPU#0: syz.2.19/5879\n  Modules linked in:\n  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5879 Comm: syz.2.19 Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full)\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014\n  RIP: 0010:get_vmcs12 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.h:60 [inline]\n  RIP: 0010:vmx_update_cr8_intercept+0x3de/0x4e0 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:6879\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   apic_update_ppr arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:984 [inline]\n   kvm_lapic_reset+0x1c24/0x2980 arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:3023\n   kvm_vcpu_reset+0x44c/0x1bf0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12986\n   kvm_arch_vcpu_create+0x746/0x8b0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12847\n   kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu+0x428/0x930 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4201\n   kvm_vm_ioctl+0x893/0xd50 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:5159\n   vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline]\n   __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:597 [inline]\n   __se_sys_ioctl+0xfc/0x170 fs/ioctl.c:583\n   do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline]\n   do_syscall_64+0x174/0x580 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n   \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\nNo functional change intended.","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: VMX: Grab vmcs12 on CR8 interception update iff vCPU is in guest mode","id":"CVE-2026-64604","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Apache Fory, Apache Fory: Class-registration bypass through an auto-admitted SerializedLambda capturing interface","id":"CVE-2026-64606"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"platform/x86: intel-hid: Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion","id":"CVE-2026-64603"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel warning and potential denial of service in KVM by creating a vCPU while nested virtualization is active.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-64604/"}
