Important: kernel

Issue Overview: It has been discovered that on some AMD CPUs, the RAS Return Address Stack, also called RAP - Return Address Predictor - in some AMD documentation, and RSB - Return Stack Buffer - in Intel terminology is dynamically partitioned between non-idle threads. This allows an attacker to...

Important: kernel

Issue Overview: AMD recommends using a software mitigation for this issue, which the kernel is enabling by default. The Linux kernel will use the generic retpoline software mitigation, instead of the specialized AMD one, on AMD instances 5a. This is done by default, and no administrator action is...

Amazon Linux 2 : kernel, --advisory ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-015 (ALASKERNEL-5.15-2023-015)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.102-61.139. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-015 advisory.

x86: speculative vulnerability in 32bit SYSCALL path

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Due to an oversight in the very original Spectre/Meltdown security work XSA-254, one entrypath performs its speculation-safety actions too late. In some configurations, there is an unprotected RET instruction which can be attacked with a variety of speculative attacks. IMPACT An...
