CVE-2025-48504: AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization use-after-free in firmware

CVE-2025-48504 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) firmware contains a use-after-free vulnerability in how it manages memory resources. A malicious hypervisor with existing access could exploit this flaw to manipulate guest memory metadata, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted virtual machine data that SEV is designed to protect.

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

Technical details

The vulnerability is a use-after-free flaw in SEV firmware's resource management, allowing operation on freed memory resources. An attacker with hypervisor-level access can manipulate guest memory metadata pages. The attack requires local/adjacent access via the hypervisor and results in loss of guest memory confidentiality and integrity protections.
