CVE-2025-52535: AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization firmware resource reuse

CVE-2025-52535 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) is a hardware security feature that protects virtual machines from unauthorized access by the hypervisor. A firmware flaw allows an attacker who already controls the hypervisor to bypass memory protections and corrupt guest VM memory, undermining the security guarantees that SEV provides. This could lead to data exposure or VM crashes for hosted services.

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

Technical details

Improper resource reuse in SEV firmware allows an attacker with hypervisor-level access to write to the Reverse Map Table (RMP), which protects encrypted guest memory from unauthorized modifications. The vulnerability requires existing hypervisor access and results in loss of guest memory integrity. No public exploit is known.
