kernel: Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier is force-disabled when STIBP is unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the Enhanced IBPB Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier. The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation IBRS is available. This flaw allows a local attacker to perfo...

Updated botan2 packages fix security vulnerability

The CBC padding operations were not constant time and as a result would leak the length of the plaintext values which were being padded to an attacker running a side channel attack via shared resources such as cache or branch predictor. No information about the contents was leaked, but the length...
