CVE-2026-60020: Intel TDX Migration Trust Domain memory leak in virtio-serial

CVE-2026-60020 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

The Intel TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) is a hypervisor component that secures virtual machine migration in Intel's confidential computing architecture. A memory leak in the virtio-serial driver can be exploited by a local privileged attacker to cause a denial of service, potentially degrading system availability over time.

Technologies: Intel TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD). Vendors: Intel.

Technical details

A memory leak in the MigTD virtio-serial driver fails to release allocated memory after its effective lifetime, allowing a privileged local attacker with Ring 0 access to trigger repeated allocations and exhaust system memory. The vulnerability requires local access and elevated privileges but no user interaction. The impact is limited to availability (denial of service) with no confidentiality or integrity impact.
