DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52597

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: fix setting of fpc register kvmarchvcpuioctlsetfpu allows to set the floating point control fpc register of a guest cpu. The new value is tested for validity by temporarily loading it into the fpc register. This may le...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47094

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Don't advance iterator after restart due to yielding After dropping mmulock in the TDP MMU, restart the iterator during tdpiternext and do not advance the iterator. Advancing the iterator results in skipping the...

UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47092

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Always clear vmx-fail on emulationrequired Revert a relatively recent change that set vmx-fail if the vCPU is in L2 and emulationrequired is true, as that behavior is completely bogus. Setting vmx-fail and synthesizing ...

SUSE CVE-2021-46977

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Disable preemption when probing user return MSRs Disable preemption when probing a user return MSR via RDSMR/WRMSR. If the MSR holds a different value per logical CPU, the WRMSR could corrupt the host's value if KVM is...

SUSE CVE-2021-47008

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Make sure GHCB is mapped before updating Access to the GHCB is mainly in the VMGEXIT path and it is known that the GHCB will be mapped. But there are two paths where it is possible the GHCB might not be mapped. The...

CVE-2021-47062

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Use onlinevcpus, not createdvcpus, to iterate over vCPUs Use the kvmforeachvcpu helper to iterate over vCPUs when encrypting VMSAs for SEV, which effectively switches to use onlinevcpus instead of createdvcpus. This fix...

kernel: KVM: nVMX: missing consistency checks for CR0 and CR4

A flaw was found in the KVM's Intel nested virtualization feature nVMX. The effective values of the guest CR0 and CR4 registers could differ from those included in the VMCS12. In rare circumstances i.e., kvmintel module loaded with parameters nested=1 and ept=0 this could allow a malicious guest ...

USN-6572-1 linux-azure vulnerabilities

Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment.
