In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Play nice with protected guests in completehypercallexit()
Use is64bithypercall() instead of is64bitmode() to detect a 64-bit hypercall when completing said hypercall. For guests with protected state, e.g. SEV-ES and SEV-SNP, KVM must assume the hypercall was made in 64-bit mode as the vCPU state needed to detect 64-bit mode is unavailable.
Hacking the sevsmoketest selftest to generate a KVMHCMAPGPARANGE hypercall via VMGEXIT trips the WARN:
