Summary

In the Linux kernel's ccp (AMD) driver, a bug was fixed where SNP was unnecessarily initialized during the SNP_COMMIT ioctl. This command does not require any specific firmware state, and prior initialization could lead to security issues.

Risk Assessment

Unnecessary SNP initialization could cause unexpected side effects, including potential clearing of registers critical for virtual machine security.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64309.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_COMMIT) Sashiko notes: > if SEV initialization fails and KVM is actively running normal VMs, could a > userspace process trigger this code path via /dev/sev ioctls (e.g., > SEV_PDH_GEN) and zero out MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA globally? Would the next VMRUN > execution for an active VM trigger a general protection fault and crash the > host? The SNP_COMMIT command does not require the firmware to be in any particular state. Skip initializing it if it was previously uninitialized. The SEV-SNP firmware specification doc 56860 does not mention SNP_COMMIT in Table 5 as a command that is allowed in the UNINIT state, but it is in fact allowed and a future documentation update will reflect that.
