CVE-2026-55709: Intel TDX Migration Trust Domain infinite loop denial of service

CVE-2026-55709 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Intel's TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) is a hypervisor component that handles secure migration of virtual machines. A loop with no exit condition in the GetQuote function can cause the system to hang indefinitely, resulting in service unavailability. A local attacker with system-level privileges can trigger this denial of service without special knowledge or user interaction.

Technical details

CVE-2026-55709 is an infinite loop vulnerability in the MigTD's GetQuote function within the hypervisor ring 0 layer. The loop lacks a reachable exit condition, allowing a privileged system software adversary to trigger indefinite execution and cause denial of service. This affects only availability; no information disclosure or privilege escalation is possible through this specific flaw.
