E.g. for VMX (and soon to be for SVM as well), KVM\nneeds to flush the PML buffer prior to exiting to userspace, otherwise any\nmemory written by the final KVM_RUN might never be flagged as dirty.\n\nNote, waiting to snapshot CR0 and CR3 until svm_handle_exit() is flawed in\ngeneral, as that risks consuming stale state in a fastpath handler.  That\nwill be addressed in a future change.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":39.1,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
