CVE-2026-43347

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel that leads to improper access to hypervisor-owned memory on Monaco-based platforms. This issue results in 'Synchronous External Abort' exceptions and kernel crashes.

Risk Assessment

Organizations using Monaco platforms may experience critical system crashes, leading to potential downtime and data loss. Improper memory management may also pose security risks for applications running in this environment.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version that includes fixes for this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor system logs for potential memory-related issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: dts: qcom: monaco: Reserve full Gunyah metadata region We observe spurious "Synchronous External Abort" exceptions (ESR=0x96000010) and kernel crashes on Monaco-based platforms. These faults are caused by the kernel inadvertently accessing hypervisor-owned memory that is not properly marked as reserved. >From boot log, The Qualcomm hypervisor reports the memory range at 0x91a80000 of size 0x80000 (512 KiB) as hypervisor-owned: qhee_hyp_assign_remove_memory: 0x91a80000/0x80000 -> ret 0 However, the EFI memory map provided by firmware only reserves the subrange 0x91a40000–0x91a87fff (288 KiB). The remaining portion (0x91a88000–0x91afffff) is incorrectly reported as conventional memory (from efi debug): efi: 0x000091a40000-0x000091a87fff [Reserved...] efi: 0x000091a88000-0x0000938fffff [Conventional...] As a result, the allocator may hand out PFNs inside the hypervisor owned region, causing fatal aborts wh
