Last modified
CVE-2026-72281 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: account pKVM reclaim against the VM mm Protected guest faults charge long term pins to the VM's mm. Teardown can run later from file release, where current->mm may be unrelated. Drop the charge from kvm->mm instead.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
