Summary

In the Linux kernel, in Hyper-V drivers (vmbus), sysctl_record_panic_msg is now deactivated by default in isolated guests. The panic page may contain guest-sensitive information, so it is no longer dumped to Hyper-V by default. Comments in hyperv_panic_event and hyperv_die_event were also updated.

Risk Assessment

Previously, the default dumping of the panic page to Hyper-V could expose sensitive guest data in isolated environments. This change reduces the risk of information leakage.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a patched version. In isolated environments, verify that default settings align with security policies.
