CVE-2024-26690 net: stmmac: protect updates of 64-bit statistics counters

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: protect updates of 64-bit statistics counters As explained by a comment in , write side of struct u64statssync must ensure mutual exclusion, or one seqcount update could be lost on 32-bit platforms, thus blocking...

CVE-2024-26690

In CVE-2024-26690, the Linux kernel stmmac driver fix avoids 32-bit seqcount race conditions in u64_stats_sync by splitting 64-bit statistics into three context-specific groups and introducing a per-cpu stats structure (stmmac_pcpu_stats). The tx, napi/poll, and interrupt contexts now update disj...

kernel: x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area

A possible unauthorized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel cpuentryarea mapping of X86 CPU data to memory, where a user may guess the location of exception stacks or other important data. This issue could allow a local user to gain access to some important data with expected locatio...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-46977

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Disable preemption when probing user return MSRs Disable preemption when probing a user return MSR via RDSMR/WRMSR. If the MSR holds a different value per logical CPU, the WRMSR could corrupt the host's value if KVM is...

kernel: nfsd: move init of percpu reply_cache_stats counters back to nfsd_init_net

A flaw was identified in the NFS server nfsd implementation in the Linux kernel where the initialization of the per-CPU replycachestats counters was relocated incorrectly in the code path. This change can lead to use of uninitialized per-CPU statistical counters during NFS request handling when t...
