CVE-2026-43096

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

mshv: Fix infinite fault loop on permission-denied GPA intercepts

Prevent infinite fault loops when guests access memory regions without

proper permissions. Currently, mshv_handle_gpa_intercept() attempts to

remap pages for all faults on movable memory regions, regardless of

whether the access type is permitted. When a guest writes to a read-only

region, the remap succeeds but the region remains read-only, causing

immediate re-fault and spinning the vCPU indefinitely.

Validate intercept access type against region permissions before

attempting remaps. Reject writes to non-writable regions and executes to

non-executable regions early, returning false to let the VMM handle the

intercept appropriately.

This also closes a potential DoS vector where malicious guests could

intentionally trigger these fault loops to consume host resources.
