8.8 · HIGH
Published Jul 19, 2026 EPSS 0.17% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-63937 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 19, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, 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: SEV: Use READ_ONCE() when reading entries/indices from PSC buffer

Use READ_ONCE() when reading entries/indices from the guest-accessible

Page State Change buffer to defend against TOCTOU bugs.

Don't bother with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for cases where KVM is writing

(and not consuming the result!), as the guest isn't supposed to touch the

buffer while it's being processed. I.e. using READ_ONCE() is all about

protecting against misbehaving guests.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
