Description
===========

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

crypto: ccp - Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_CONFIG)

Sashiko notes:

Refuse to re-try initialization if SNP is not already initialized for
SNP_CONFIG.

This is technically an ABI break: before if SNP initialization failed it
could be transparently retriggered by this ioctl, and if no VMs were
running, everything worked fine. Hopefully this is enough of a corner case
that nobody will notice, but someone does, there are a few options:

* do something like symbol_get() for kvm and refuse to initialize if KVM is
  loaded
* check each cpu's HSAVE_PA for non-zero data before re-initializing
* once initialization has failed, continue to refuse to initialize until
  the ccp module is unloaded

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64307 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
