UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53208

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Load L1's TSC multiplier based on L1 state, not L2 state When emulating nested VM-Exit, load L1's TSC multiplier if L1's desired ratio doesn't match the current ratio, not if the ratio L1 is using for L2 diverges from...

Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.15.82 and fixes atleast the following security issues: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service flaw may occur if there is a consecutive request of the NVMEIOCTLRESET and the NVMEIOCTLSUBSYSRESET through the device file of the drive...

CVE-2021-3656

A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the "virtext" field, this issue could allow a malicious...

x86: missing NULL pointer check in VMFUNC emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When support for the Intel VMX VMFUNC leaf 0 was added, a new optional function pointer hvmemulvmfunc was added to the hvmemulateops table. As is intended, that new function pointer is NULL on non-VMX hardware, including AMD SVM hardware. However at a call site, the necessary NU...

WITHDRAWN: missing XSETBV intercept privilege check on AMD SVM

ISSUE DESCRIPTION NOTE: This advisory has been withdrawn XSETBV is a privileged instruction, i.e. should result in GP when issued by code running at other than the most privileged level CPL 0. Unlike other privileged and intercepted instructions in AMD SVM, XSETBV has the privilege level check do...
