kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Memory leak via coalesced MMIO unregistration failure

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM component. This vulnerability occurs when the unregistration of a coalesced Memory-Mapped I/O MMIO device fails, leading to a memory leak. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to consume system memory, potentially causing...

Researchers Find 34 Windows Drivers Vulnerable to Full Device Takeover

As many as 34 unique vulnerable Windows Driver Model WDM and Windows Driver Frameworks WDF drivers could be exploited by non-privileged threat actors to gain full control of the devices and execute arbitrary code on the underlying systems. "By exploiting the drivers, an attacker without privilege...

AZL-31815 CVE-2023-46813 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.137.1-1

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory and th...

kernel: i2c: piix4: Fix a memory leak in the EFCH MMIO support

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: piix4: Fix a memory leak in the EFCH MMIO support The recently added support for EFCH MMIO regions introduced a memory leak in that code path. The leak is caused by the fact that releaseresource merely removes the resource...

Intel CPU vulnerabilities fixed. But should you update?

Microsoft has released out of band updates for information disclosure vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs. The normal gut reaction would be to install out of band updates as soon as possible. Microsoft wouldnt be releasing the updates ahead of the regular cycle without good reason, would it? Well, mayb...

SUSE CVE-2008-4210

fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable...

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-2012-3432

The handlemmio function in arch/x86/hvm/io.c in the MMIO operations emulator for Xen 3.3 and 4.x, when running an HVM guest, does not properly reset certain state information between emulation cycles, which allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash via unspecified...

SUSE CVE-2013-2212

The vmxsetucmode function in Xen 3.3 through 4.3, when disabling caches, allows local HVM guests with access to memory mapped I/O regions to cause a denial of service CPU consumption and possibly hypervisor or guest kernel panic via a crafted GFN range...
