Answer in brief
CVE-2026-98470 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in KVM: arm64: Don't WARN on an unknown VM ioctl in protected mode. 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: KVM: arm64: Don't WARN on an unknown VM ioctl in protected mode kvm_pkvm_ioctl_allowed() WARNs when kvm_get_cap_for_kvm_ioctl() doesn't find the ioctl number in vm_ioctl_caps[], and kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() calls it for every number the generic code doesn't handle, so ioctl(vm_fd, 0xdeadbeef) from userspace taints a pKVM host and panics it under panic_on_warn. The lookup is fed userspace input: return false, and userspace gets the -EINVAL kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() returns for that number on a host without pKVM.
