"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them MTRRs have
an obsolete fixed variant for fine grained caching control of the
640K-1MB region that uses separate MSRs. This fixed variant has a
separate capability bit in the MTRR capability MSR. So far all x86
CPUs which support MTRR have this separate bit set, so it went
unnoticed that mtrr_save_state() does not check the capability bit
before accessing the fixed MTRR MSRs. Though on a CPU that does not
support the fixed MTRR capability this results in a #GP. The #GP
itself is harmless because the RDMSR fault is handled gracefully, but
results in a WARN_ON(). Add the missing capability check to prevent
this.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
