CVE-2026-89775: Guest-to-Host Escape in KVM/arm64

Disclosed CVE-2026-89775 lets a guest VM escape to the host on KVM/arm64 systems with nested virtualization enabled.

Researcher Hyunwoo Kim disclosed CVE-2026-89775, a guest-to-host escape in KVM/arm64, after the embargo agreed with linux-distros maintainers expired. The root cause is a type truncation of the stage-1 walk level that makes a size computation return 0, the value meaning 'size unknown'. The VNCR pseudo-TLB invalidation path then interprets that 0 as a valid value on ARM64 hosts where nested virtualization is enabled.
