Overview

CVE-2026-80651 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 28, 2026.

Technical description

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

crypto: ccp/sev-dev-tsm - bail out early when pdev->bus is NULL

dsm_create() initially checks pdev->bus when computing segment_id:

u8 segment_id = pdev->bus ? pci_domain_nr(pdev->bus) : 0;

But the next two lines unconditionally dereference pdev->bus via

pcie_find_root_port() and especially pci_dev_id(pdev), which expands

to PCI_DEVID(dev->bus->number, dev->devfn). If pdev->bus is in fact

NULL, segment_id is initialised to 0 but the very next statement

crashes the kernel.

smatch flags this:

drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev-tsm.c:253 dsm_create() error: we

previously assumed 'pdev->bus' could be null (see line 251)

Make the NULL handling consistent: if pdev->bus is NULL the device

has no PCI context to work with and SEV TIO setup cannot proceed,

so return -ENODEV before any of the bus-dependent lookups. The

remaining initialisation now runs only on the path where pdev->bus

is known to be valid.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80651?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80651 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.
