Overview

CVE-2026-63794 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: SVM: Fix page overflow in sev_dbg_crypt() for ENCRYPT path

In sev_dbg_crypt(), the per-iteration transfer length is bounded by

the source page offset (PAGE_SIZE - s_off) but not by the destination

page offset (PAGE_SIZE - d_off). When d_off > s_off, the encrypt

path (__sev_dbg_encrypt_user) performs a read-modify-write using a

single-page intermediate buffer (dst_tpage):

1. __sev_dbg_decrypt() expands the size to round_up(len + (d_off & 15), 16)

before issuing the PSP command. If len + (d_off & 15) > PAGE_SIZE,

the PSP writes beyond the end of the 4096-byte dst_tpage allocation.

2. The subsequent memcpy()/copy_from_user() into

page_address(dst_tpage) + (d_off & 15) of 'len' bytes overflows

by up to 15 bytes under the same condition.

Trigger example: s_off = 0, d_off = 1, debug.len = PAGE_SIZE -

the PSP is instructed to write round_up(4097, 16) = 4112 bytes to

a 4096-byte buffer.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-63794?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-63794 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
