Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel\nmapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory.\n\nNote, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information\nis almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for\nthe CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.\n\n[sean: rewrite shortlog and changelog, tag for stable@]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dcdb476f5fc5701ec06c23efe3e3529f07ca391e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f13e900599089b10113ceb36013423f0837c6792"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64285","score":0.00143,"percentile":0.03617,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
