Answer in brief
CVE-2025-40065 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in RISC-V: KVM: Write hgatp register with valid mode bits. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RISC-V: KVM: Write hgatp register with valid mode bits According to the RISC-V Privileged Architecture Spec, when MODE=Bare is selected,software must write zero to the remaining fields of hgatp. We have detected the valid mode supported by the HW before, So using a valid mode to detect how many vmid bits are supported.
