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.

**Am I affected by CVE-2025-0027?** Check whether you run Amd Secure Encrypted Virtualization firmware. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

## 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.
