Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel update is based on upstream 6.5.11 and fixes or adds mitigations for at least the following security issues: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c in nvmettcpfreecrypto due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue ma...

CVE-2023-5090

A flaw was found in KVM. An improper check in svmsetx2apicmsrinterception may allow direct access to host x2apic msrs when the guest resets its apic, potentially leading to a denial of service condition. Mitigation Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available optio...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Fix crash due to uninitialized currentvmcs KVM enables 'Enlightened VMCS' and 'Enlightened MSR Bitmap' when running as a nested hypervisor on top of Hyper-V. When MSR bitmap is updated, evmcstouchmsrbitmap function uses...

CVE-2023-0045

The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The ibprctlset function updates the Thread Information Flags TIFs for the task and updates the SPECCTRL MSR on the function speculationctrlupdate, but the IBPB is only issued on the next...

CVE-2023-0045

The CVE-2023-0045 entry concerns the Linux kernel Spectre v2 mitigation for prctl-based task toggling. The underlying issue is that IBPB is not issued immediately during the prctl syscall; ib_prctl_set updates TIFs and SPEC_CTRL MSR, but IBPB is only emitted on the next schedule after TIF checks....

SUSE CVE-2013-0268

SUSE CVE-2013-1797

Use-after-free vulnerability in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8.4 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers use of a guest physical address GPA in 1 movable or 2...

SUSE CVE-2014-7188

The hvmmsrreadintercept function in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in Xen 4.1 through 4.4.x uses an improper MSR range for x2APIC emulation, which allows local HVM guests to cause a denial of service host crash or read data from the hypervisor or other guests via unspecified vectors...

SUSE CVE-2018-5244

In Xen 4.10, new infrastructure was introduced as part of an overhaul to how MSR emulation happens for guests. Unfortunately, one tracking structure isn't freed when a vcpu is destroyed. This allows guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service host OS memory consumption by rebooting many...
