USN-6385-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that some AMD x86-64 processors with SMT enabled could speculatively execute instructions using a return address from a sibling thread. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. CVE-2022-27672 William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control TC...

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS : Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities (USN-6385-1)

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6385-1 advisory. It was discovered that some AMD x86-64 processors with SMT enabled could speculatively execute instructions using a return address from a sibling thread....

kernel: seccomp: Move copy_seccomp() to no failure path

A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's seccomp subsystem. When a process using seccomp filters is interrupted by a fatal signal during clone, the seccompfilter structure and associated BPF program memory are not properly freed. This occurs because copyseccomp is called before the...
