Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly compute a speculative execution limit on pointer arithmetic in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information kernel memory. CVE-2020-27171 Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory aka CID-f232326f6966. This affects pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit.

De4dCr0w of 360 Alpha Lab discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information kernel memory or possibly execute arbitrary code...

Updated kernel packages fix security issues

This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.25 and fixes at least the following security issues: Unprivileged BPF programs running on affected systems can bypass the protection and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from any location within the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract...

CVE-2018-12130

A flaw was found in the implementation of the "fill buffer", a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page fault, the execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill buffer...

DEBIAN-CVE-2020-27171

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has an off-by-one error with a resultant integer underflow affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information...

CVE-2018-3620

Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of...

Intel’s third-generation Xeon Scalable server processors, code-named Ice Lake, will be rolled out with new security upgrades that the chip giant claims will better protect devices from firmware attacks. The upcoming chips are based on Ice Lake, Intel’s 10nm CPU microarchitecture, which was first...

NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : kernel Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2020-0041)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size...

A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135 in the Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0) but is not affected by the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1) the guest was to clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests the guests did not use the VERW mechanism to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat associated with this vulnerability.
