In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Fix ID register initialization for non-protected pKVM guests In protected mode, the hypervisor maintains a separate instance of the `kvm` structure for each VM. For non-protected VMs, this structure is initialized from the host's `kvm` state. Currently, `pkvm_init_features_from_host()` copies the `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` flag from the host without the underlying `id_regs` data being initialized. This results in the hypervisor seeing the flag as set while the ID registers remain zeroed. Consequently, `kvm_has_feat()` checks at EL2 fail (return 0) for non-protected VMs. This breaks logic that relies on feature detection, such as `ctxt_has_tcrx()` for TCR2_EL1 support. As a result, certain system registers (e.g., TCR2_EL1, PIR_EL1, POR_EL1) are not saved/restored during the world switch, which could lead to state corruption. Fix this by explicitly copying the ID registers from the host `kvm` to the hypervisor `kvm` for non-protected VMs during initialization, since we trust the host with its non-protected guests' features. Also ensure `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` is cleared initially in `pkvm_init_features_from_host` so that `vm_copy_id_regs` can properly initialize them and set the flag once done.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1596 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - KVM: arm64: Fix ID register initialization for non-protected pKVM guests In protected mode, the hypervisor     maintains a separate instance of the `kvm` structure for each VM. For non-protected VMs, this structure is     initialized from the host's `kvm` state. Currently, `pkvm_init_features_from_host()` copies the     `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` flag from the host without the underlying `id_regs` data being     initialized. This results in the hypervisor seeing the flag as set while the ID registers remain zeroed.
    Consequently, `kvm_has_feat()` checks at EL2 fail (return 0) for non-protected VMs. This breaks logic that     relies on feature detection, such as `ctxt_has_tcrx()` for TCR2_EL1 support. As a result, certain system     registers (e.g., TCR2_EL1, PIR_EL1, POR_EL1) are not saved/restored during the world switch, which could     lead to state corruption. Fix this by explicitly copying the ID registers from the host `kvm` to the     hypervisor `kvm` for non-protected VMs during initialization, since we trust the host with its non-     protected guests' features. Also ensure `KVM_ARCH_FLAG_ID_REGS_INITIALIZED` is cleared initially in     `pkvm_init_features_from_host` so that `vm_copy_id_regs` can properly initialize them and set the flag     once done. (CVE-2026-23425)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
