Published: April 24, 2026· Updated: Apr 27, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Make kvm_get_vcpu_by_cpuid() more robust
kvm_get_vcpu_by_cpuid() takes a cpuid parameter whose type is int, so
cpuid can be negative. Let kvm_get_vcpu_by_cpuid() return NULL for this
case so as to make it more robust.
This fix an out-of-bounds access to kvm_arch::phyid_map::phys_map[].
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-31558 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
