CVE-2026-98469
Beschrijving NL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix AArch32 DBGBXVR handling
The consolidation of the breakpoint and watchpoint register accessors
switched DBGBXVR from trap_bvr() to trap_dbg_wb_reg(). The latter
selects backing storage with demux_wb_reg(), which only handles Op2 values
4 through 7. Since DBGBXVR uses Op2 1, an AArch32 guest access hits
KVM_BUG_ON() and marks the VM dead. DBGBXVR aliases DBGBVR_EL1[63:32], and its AA32(HI) descriptor
already selects the upper half. Map Op2 1 to dbg_bvr[] alongside Op2 4,
restoring the pre-regression behavior.
