Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virtualization mode when SMM state is toggled The nested virtualization mode is forcibly exited if the user space toggles the SMM state using KVMSETVCPUEVENTS or KVMSYNCX86EVENTS. If the user space...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: scsi: qedf: Add stagwork to all the vports A call trace was observed when creating NPIV ports. Only 32 out of 64 ports are shown as online. The stagwork was not initialized for the vports; therefore, it needs to be initialized...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM – Fix for a panic occurring on an out-of-bounds guest IRQ. Since the guestIRQ comes from the KVMIRQFD API call, it may trigger a crash in svmupdatepiirte, due to an out-of-bounds access. Crash output: pid: 22218 task:...
