CVE-2026-102699

Arm: multiple issues with GNTTABOP_cache_flush

Published Oct 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the
text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

1) XSA-437 (CVE-2023-34321) addressed issues with overflows in
calculations involved in guests flushing caches through
GNTTABOP_cache_flush. Unfortunately the fix there introduced a
calculation which may underflow, resulting in a loop which would - at
least on 64-bit Arm - take excessively long, and which would likely
eventually crash the hypervisor.

This is CVE-2026-102699.

2) GNTTABOP_cache_flush may be issued on memory mapped from another
domain using the grant table interface. However there was no
restriction to disallow the use of invalidate-without-clean against
read-only grant mappings, which may corrupt the granted memory.

This is CVE-2026-102702.
