ARM: Interrupts are unconditionally unmasked in exception handlers

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When an exception occurs on an ARM system which is handled without changing processor level, some interrupts are unconditionally enabled during exception entry. So exceptions which occur when interrupts are masked will effectively unmask the interrupts. IMPACT A malicious guest...

The vulnerability in the implementation of the ips_init_phase1 function in the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability in the implementation of the ipsinitphase1 function, which is called from the ipsinsertdevice handler in the loaded module drivers/scsi/ips.ko of the Linux operating system, stems from a memory leak. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a system failure...

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : Linux kernel (AWS, GCP, KVM, OEM, Raspberry Pi 2) vulnerabilities (USN-3871-3)

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3871-3 advisory. Wen Xu discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to...

DEBIAN-CVE-2018-16882

A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts when nested=1 virtualization is enabled. In nestedgetvmcs12pages, in case of an error while processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pidescpage' without resetting 'pidesc' descript...
