In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
Skip the WRMSR and HLT fastpaths in SVM's VM-Exit handler if the next RIP
isn't valid, e.g. because KVM is running with nrips=false. SVM must
decode and emulate to skip the instruction if the CPU doesn't provide the
next RIP, and getting the instruction bytes to decode requires reading
guest memory. Reading guest memory through the emulator can fault, i.e.
can sleep, which is disallowed since the fastpath handlers run with IRQs
disabled.

CVE-2025-40068 Linux kernel (AWS) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (AWS) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor
Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could
use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles
causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel
memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
(LP: #2143853)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.

CVE-2025-40038 [MEDIUM] CWE-754 kernel: KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
kernel: KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
Skip the WRMSR and HLT fastpaths in SVM's VM-Exit handler if the next RIP
isn't valid, e.g. because KVM is running with nrips=false. SVM must
decode and emulate to skip the instruction if the CPU doesn't provide the
next RIP, and getting the instruction bytes to decode requires reading
guest memory. Reading guest memory through the emulator can fault, i.e.
can sleep, which is disallowed since the fastpath handlers run with IRQs
disabled.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/uaccess.h:106

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
