CVE-2020-12912

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of RAPL for AMD CPUs. This flaw allows a user with a local account to use the RAPL interface to gain information on the CPU execution state, resulting in an information leak of sensitive data across security boundaries. The highest threat from...

Citrix Hypervisor Security Update

Description of Problem Two issues have been identified in Citrix Hypervisor that may, if exploited, allow privileged code in an HVM guest VM to compromise or crash the host. These issues only apply in specific configurations; furthermore, Citrix believes that there would be significant difficulty...

Intel, ARM, IBM, AMD Processors Vulnerable to New Side-Channel Attacks

It turns out that the root cause behind several previously disclosed speculative execution attacks against modern processors, such as Meltdown and Foreshadow, was misattributed to 'prefetching effect,' resulting in hardware vendors releasing incomplete mitigations and countermeasures. Sharing its...

Design/Logic Flaw

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.13.x, allowing Intel guest OS users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service because of non-atomic modification of a live EPT PTE. When mapping guest EPT nested paging tables, Xen would in some circumstances use a series of non-atomic bitfield write...

CVE-2019-1125

An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units CPU speculatively access memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could read privileged data across trust boundaries. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation processed IPv6 router advertisement RA packets. An attacker able to send a large number of RA packets to a target system...
