CVE-2025-0027: AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization firmware access control bypass in RMP

CVE-2025-0027 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) is a processor feature that encrypts virtual machine memory to protect against hypervisor attacks. A flaw in the SEV firmware's access control allows a malicious hypervisor to bypass the Reverse Map Table protections and compromise guest memory integrity, potentially exposing sensitive data within encrypted virtual machines.

Technologies: Amd Secure Encrypted Virtualization firmware. Vendors: Amd.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper access control issue in AMD SEV firmware that fails to adequately protect the Reverse Map Table (RMP), a key component that enforces memory isolation in SEV-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) environments. A malicious hypervisor with direct hardware access can exploit this to bypass RMP protections and gain unauthorized access to guest-encrypted memory. The firmware must be patched to restore proper access controls.
