In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Handle the case that EIOINTC's coremap is empty
EIOINTC's coremap in eiointc_update_sw_coremap() can be empty, currently
we get a cpuid with -1 in this case, but we actually need 0 because it's
similar as the case that cpuid >= 4.
This fix an out-of-bounds access to kvm_arch::phyid_map::phys_map[].
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-31569 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 availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.3.
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.
