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.
