CVE-2026-64307
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
