Opened: May 06, 2026 Severity: 3-Major
On a VIPRION Chassis vCMP Host, the running vCMP guests may adopt an incorrect identity following simultaneous MCPD restarts on multiple blades. - A guest answers on the management IP address of a different guest - A guest presents the hostname, unit key, or SSL credentials of a different guest - Processes inside the affected guest log master key decryption failures similar to the following in /var/log/audit: 01071769:3: Decryption of the field (admin_password) for object (/Common/<object_name>) failed while loading the configuration that is encrypted with a different master key
The guests become unreachable
All of the following conditions must be met: - The VIPRION system is provisioned as a vCMP host with two or more deployed guests (single or multi-bladed) - mcpd restarts simultaneously on multiple blades - vcmpd reattaches to the still-running guest QEMU processes following the restart
