Overview

What is CVE-2026-98470?

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

KVM: arm64: Don't WARN on an unknown VM ioctl in protected mode

kvm_pkvm_ioctl_allowed() WARNs when kvm_get_cap_for_kvm_ioctl() doesn't find the ioctl number in vm_ioctl_caps[], and kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() calls it for every number the generic code doesn't handle, so ioctl(vm_fd, 0xdeadbeef) from userspace taints a pKVM host and panics it under panic_on_warn.

The lookup is fed userspace input: return false, and userspace gets the -EINVAL kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() returns for that number on a host without pKVM.
