Important: kernel

Issue Overview: A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks. L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after running L2 due to KVM L0 advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L...

USN-5911-1 linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe-5.19, linux-ibm, linux-lowlatency, linux-oracle vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol ULP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execut...

SUSE CVE-2009-2287

The kvmarchvcpuioctlsetsregs function in the KVM in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.30, when running on x86 systems, does not validate the page table root in a KVMSETSREGS call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service crash or hang via a crafted cr3 value, which triggers a NULL pointer...

SUSE CVE-2010-0298

The x86 emulator in KVM 83 does not use the Current Privilege Level CPL and I/O Privilege Level IOPL in determining the memory access available to CPL3 code, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging access to a 1 IO...

SUSE CVE-2010-0419

The x86 emulator in KVM 83, when a guest is configured for Symmetric Multiprocessing SMP, does not properly restrict writing of segment selectors to segment registers, which might allow guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging...

SUSE CVE-2012-2137

Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irqcomm.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.2.24 allows local users to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to Message Signaled Interrupts MSI, irq routing entries, and an incorrect check by the...

SUSE 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...

SUSE CVE-2016-8630

The x86decodeinsn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, when KVM is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service host OS crash via a certain use of a ModR/M byte in an undefined instruction...

SUSE CVE-2016-10150

Use-after-free vulnerability in the kvmioctlcreatedevice function in virt/kvm/kvmmain.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.13 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash or possibly gain privileges via crafted ioctl calls on the /dev/kvm device...

SUSE CVE-2017-2584

arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service use-after-free via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt...
