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 ...

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. Linux kernel has a security vulnerability that stems from a security issue in KVM x86/mmu...

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...

CLSA-2024-1709204778 kernel: Fix of 7 CVEs

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. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2023-31085 Bien Pham discovered that the netfiler subsystem in the Linux...

kernel: KVM: SEV-ES / SEV-SNP VMGEXIT double fetch vulnerability

A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization SEV in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke the VMGEXIT handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple time...

kernel: KVM: s390/diag: fix racy access of physical cpu number in diag 9c handler

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390/diag: fix racy access of physical cpu number in diag 9c handler We do check for target CPU == -1, but this might change at the time we are going to use it. Hold the physical target CPU in a local variable to avoid...

kernel: KVM: VMX: Fix crash due to uninitialized current_vmcs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Fix crash due to uninitialized currentvmcs KVM enables 'Enlightened VMCS' and 'Enlightened MSR Bitmap' when running as a nested hypervisor on top of Hyper-V. When MSR bitmap is updated, evmcstouchmsrbitmap function uses...

AZL-31943 CVE-2023-5090 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.153.1-1

A flaw was found in KVM. An improper check in svmsetx2apicmsrinterception may allow direct access to host x2apic msrs when the guest resets its apic, potentially leading to a denial of service condition...

CVE-2023-4155

A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization SEV in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke the VMGEXIT handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple time...

The vulnerability of the sev_es_validate_vmgexit() function in the arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c module of the KVM virtualization subsystem in the Linux operating system allows a attacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the sevesvalidatevmgexit function in the arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c module of the KVM virtualization subsystem of the Linux operating system is related to resource competition race condition. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause a service failure...
