Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

- 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[].
(CVE-2026-31558)
