    <title>CVE-2026-63941 — KVM: arm64: Correctly cap ZCR_EL2 provided by a guest hypervisor</title>
    <updated>2026-09-30T17:30:50.060669+00:00</updated>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p>
<p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p>
<p>KVM: arm64: Correctly cap ZCR_EL2 provided by a guest hypervisor</p>
<p>ZCR_EL2 can be updated by a VHE guest hypervisor either using ZCR_EL2
(which traps) or ZCR_EL1 (which does not trap). KVM handles both in
different way:</p>
<p>- on ZCR_EL2 trap, ZCR_EL2.LEN is immediately capped at the VM's own
  VL limit. This has the potential to break existing SW that relies
  on the full LEN field to be stateful.</p>
<p>- on ZCR_EL1 access, we do absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>On restoring the SVE context for an L2 guest, we directly restore the
guest hypervisor's view of ZCR_EL2 into the physical ZCR_EL2. If the
guest's view of the register was updated using the ZCR_EL2 accessor,
the value has already been sanitised (with the caveat mentioned above).</p>
<p>But if the guest used ZCR_EL1, the raw value is written into the HW,
and the L2 guest can now access VLs that it shouldn't.</p>
<p>Fix all the above by moving the VL capping to the restore points,
ensuring that:</p>
<p>- the HW is always programmed with a capped value, irrespective of
  the accessor being used,</p>
<p>- the ZCR_EL2.LEN field is always completely stateful, irrespective
  of the accessor being used.</p>
<p>Additionally, move ZCR_EL2 to be a sanitised register, ensuring that
only the LEN field is actually stateful. This requires some creative
construction of the RES0 mask, as the sysreg generation script does
not yet generate RAZ/WI fields.</p>
<p>[maz: rewrote commit message, tidy up access_zcr_el2()]</p></div>
