kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Privilege escalation or denial of service due to improper shadow page table entry handling

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM component. A local attacker with privileges on the host system could exploit a vulnerability in how KVM handles shadow page table entries SPTEs during memory-mapped I/O MMIO operations. By manipulating guest page table entrie...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

A flaw was discovered in qemu. A host privilege escalation issue was identified in the virtio-fs shared file system daemon, where a privileged guest user can create a device-specific special file in the shared directory and use it to gain read/write access to host devices...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

In QEMU 4.2.1, the ati2dblt function in hw/display/ati2d.c may encounter an out-of-bounds situation during calculations. This could cause the QEMU process to crash...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

The ethgetgsotype function in net/eth.c in QEMU 4.2.1 allows guest OS users to trigger an assertion failure. A guest can crash the QEMU process by sending packet data that lacks a valid Layer 3 protocol...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: nSVM: fixed a potential NULL dereference during nested migration. It turns out that due to feedback from reviews and/or changes in relocation locations, I accidentally moved the call to nestedsvmloadcr3 too early, befor...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

Integer overflows and buffer overflows were identified in the ACPI Error Record Serialization Table ERST device of QEMU, within the readerstrecord and writeerstrecord functions. Both issues may allow the guest to exceed the host buffer allocated for the ERST memory device. A malicious guest could...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in libvirt

A flaw was discovered in libvirt during its generation of SELinux MCS category pairs for virtual machines’ dynamic labels. This flaw allows one exploited guest to access files labeled for another guest, resulting in the breach of sVirt confinement. The greatest threat posed by this vulnerability...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: No longer allows guest users on multi-channel connections. This patch returns STATUSNOTSUPPORTED if the binding session is a guest session...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in open-vm-tools

A malicious actor who has been granted “Guest Operation Privileges” https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-security/GUID-6A952214-0E5E-4CCF-9D2A-90948FF643EC.html can potentially elevate their privileges if the target virtual machine has been assigned a more privileged “Guest Alias...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Chromium

Before version 103.0.5060.134, using free after in the Guest View in Google Chrome allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to potentially exploit heap corruption through a crafted HTML page...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the LSI53C895A SCSI Host Bus Adapter emulation in QEMU. The flaw occurs during the processing of repeated messages to cancel the current SCSI request using the lsidomsgout function. This flaw allows a malicious privileged user within the guest to...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the KVM’s AMD code, responsible for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs during the processing of the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest, which is used to spawn or handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the...
