Updated

In the Linux kernel before 6.6.7, an untrusted VMM can trigger int80 syscall handling at any given point. This is related to arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c and arch/x86/mm/memencryptamd.c.

Other sources

Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in rch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c and arch/x86/mm/memencryptamd.c. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger int80 syscall handling at any given point.
