CVE-2026-64309

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_COMMIT)

Sashiko notes:

The SNP_COMMIT command does not require the firmware to be in any
particular state. Skip initializing it if it was previously uninitialized.

The SEV-SNP firmware specification doc 56860 does not mention SNP_COMMIT in
Table 5 as a command that is allowed in the UNINIT state, but it is in fact
allowed and a future documentation update will reflect that.
