Summary
CVE-2026-80726 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and clear role.invalid when creating a child shadow page

Explicitly clear role.invalid when deriving a child shadow page's role from its parent to harden against bugs elsewhere in KVM, as violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are NOT on the list of active MMU pages leads to use-after-free due to __kvmmmupreparezappage() using listadd() instead of listmove() when processing an invalid shadow page, i.e. makes a bad situation far worse.

Yell loudly if the parent is invalid, as it means KVM has missed a validity check, i.e. KVM is attempting to map memory using an invalid/obsolete root, but continue on as the child is otherwise still a valid shadow page.
