Is your app affected by CVE-2026-72286?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
- Linux Linux: 6.11
How to check
- Find out whether you run the affected product and which version, then compare it with the versions above.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that asks it to check whether you run this product.
- Apply the vendor's update or mitigation from the references below. If there is none yet, limit exposure of the affected service until there is.
- If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Do not allow intra-host migration/mirroring of SNP VMs
The intra-host migration/mirroring feature is not fully implemented for
SEV-SNP VMs. The proper migration requires additional SNP-specific
state such as guest_req_mutex, guest_req_buf, and guest_resp_buf to be
transferred or initialized on the destination.
The SNP VM mirroring requires vmsa features to be copied as well otherwise
ASID would be bound to SNP range while VM is detected as a SEV VM.
Reject SNP source VMs in migration/mirroring until proper SNP state
transfer is implemented.
