DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virt: tdx-guest: Fix handling of host controlled 'quote' buffer length

Validate host controlled value quote_buf->out_len that determines how many bytes of the quote are copied out to guest userspace. In TDX environments with remote attestation, quotes are not considered private, and can be forwarded to an attestation server.

Catch scenarios where the host specifies a response length larger than the guest's allocation, or otherwise races modifying the response while the guest consumes it.

This prevents contents beyond the pages allocated for quote_buf (up to TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX) from being read out to guest userspace, and possibly forwarded in attestation requests.

Recall that some deployments want per-container configs-tsm-report interfaces, so the leak may cross container protection boundaries, not just local root.

AnalysisAI

A buffer validation flaw in Linux kernel's TDX guest driver (versions 6.7+) allows local authenticated attackers to leak kernel memory beyond allocated quote buffers into userspace, potentially crossing container isolation boundaries in multi-tenant TDX environments. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of host-controlled quote_buf->out_len values during remote attestation operations. …

Sign in for full analysis, threat intelligence, and remediation guidance.

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory systems running Linux kernel 6.7+ with TDX guest driver enabled and identify multi-tenant deployments. Within 7 days: Apply vendor patches (kernel 6.12.80, 6.18.21, 6.19.11, or 7.0+ depending on branch) to all affected systems, prioritizing multi-tenant TDX hosts. …
