Asserting that PV EOIs are\nenabled can fail if reading guest memory in pv_eoi_get_user() fails, i.e.\nif pv_eoi_test_and_clr_pending() bails early, *and* the vCPU also disables\nPV EOIs.\n\n  kernel BUG at arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:3338!\n  Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP\n  CPU: 4 UID: 1000 PID: 890 Comm: pv_eoi_test Not tainted 7.0.0-d585aa5894d8-vm #337 PREEMPT\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015\n  RIP: 0010:kvm_lapic_sync_from_vapic+0x12b/0x140 [kvm]\n  Call Trace:\n   <TASK>\n   kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x1075/0x1c30 [kvm]\n   kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x2d5/0x980 [kvm]\n   __x64_sys_ioctl+0x8a/0xd0\n   do_syscall_64+0xb5/0xb40\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53\n   </TASK>\n  Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass\n  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---","published":"2026-08-15T05:55:07.765Z","modified":"2026-08-18T03:56:55.370476628Z","cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Linux","name":"Kernel","fixedVersion":"6.1.178"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/038b9ce6fafda1babd1e33d52cbc6039747a6d87"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32bdca80aa81c2cb906f50a88b220ce1ecdc5e6e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8e9f7a95279bf608cf4c331ed89612e28c04564f"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9285e4070df2c40585c3d7ec9571faa7a2b97e17"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/97542f15dc4cf6cd3fdc035e482dca54246ddf48"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ebd7845ca0471d251a1cb48d84eb165aff5b7123"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72284.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72284"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-18T03:56:55.370476628Z"}}
