CVE-2026-46113 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel KVM x86 shadow MMU. When guest page tables are modified between VM entries, KVM can create a leaf shadow page-table entry and reverse-mapping entry using a guest frame number outside the range recorded for an existing direct-mapped shadow page. When the original memory slot and shadow MMU page are later invalidated, reverse-mapping removal misses the out-of-range entry, leaving a stale reverse mapping that references a freed kvm_mmu_page. A subsequent reverse-mapping walk can dereference the freed object. The fix detects target-GFN mismatches and zaps the existing SPTE before installing the replacement mapping and reverse mapping.
