kernel: kvm: vmx: invept vm exit not handled

It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem did not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invept Invalidate Translations Derived from EPT instructions. On hosts with an Intel processor and invept VM exit support, an unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to crash the guest...

CVE-2014-3690

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service system disruption by...

CVE-2014-3690

CVE-2014-3690 affects arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel’s KVM subsystem on Intel, where the CR4 control register value may not be preserved across VM entries. The vendor-provided details in connected Nessus advisories describe a local attacker with access to /dev/kvm who can kill arbitrary p...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-7284

The netgetrandomonce implementation in net/core/utils.c in the Linux kernel 3.13.x and 3.14.x before 3.14.5 on certain Intel processors does not perform the intended slow-path operation to initialize random seeds, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof or disrupt IP communication by...

CVE-2014-7284

CVE-2014-7284 affects the Linux kernel’s net_get_random_once in net/core/utils.c for 3.13.x and 3.14.x before 3.14.5 on certain Intel CPUs. The issue is that the slow-path to seed randomness is not executed, increasing predictability of TCP sequence numbers, TCP/UDP port numbers, and IP ID values...

kernel: x86_64: ptrace: sysret to non-canonical address

It was found that the Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem allowed a traced process' instruction pointer to be set to a non-canonical memory address without forcing the non-sysret code path when returning to user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially...
