Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-89917 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Handle VNCR TLB invalidation race with vcpu_put() VNCR unmapping While VNCR TLB invalidation always occurs under the MMU lock, vcpu_put() doesn't, while it unmaps the VNCR page. The problem is that the invalidation evaluates vncr_tlb::cpu to decide whether an unmapping needs to take place (cpu != -1) before performing it. On the other hand, this_cpu_reset_vncr_fixmap() unconditionally unmaps if L1_VNCR_MAPPED is set. These two obviously can race, with a TOCTOU pattern on the TLBI path, and a BUG_ON() on the vcpu_put() path. And the two can end-up calling vncr_fixmap(-1), with extra lethal effects. Move the reset of vncr_tlb::cpu to -1 to a common function, and make this update atomic so that only a single thread can reset the field and perform the corresponding unmap. The vcpu_put() still need to unconditionally unmap the current VNCR to close another ugly race. Finally, the assignment of vncr_tlb::cpu is moved to be kept in sync with the actual mapping, similar to L1_VNCR_MAPPED being set.
