CVE-2020-8834

KVM in the Linux kernel on Power8 processors has a conflicting use of HSTATEHOSTR1 to store r1 state in kvmppchventry plus in kvmppcsave,restoretm, leading to a stack corruption. Because of this, an attacker with the ability run code in kernel space of a guest VM can cause the host kernel to pani...

Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.145 and fixes at least the following security issues: There is heap-based buffer overflow in the marvell wifi chip driver that allows local users to cause a denial of servicesystem crash or possibly execute arbitrary code CVE-2019-14814,...

Kernel: KVM: nVMX: guest accesses L0 MSR causes potential DoS

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Register MSR access with nested=1 virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash th...
