CVE-2022-49955

Summary of CVE-2022-49955 : This vulnerability concerns the Linux kernel’s powerpc/rtas code, where MSR[HV] handling for IBM Cell during RTAS entry could crash the system. The root cause, as described across sources, is a mismatch in how MSR[HV] is treated when RTAS is invoked (firmware/RTAS inte...

CVE-2022-49955

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/rtas: Fix RTAS MSRHV handling for Cell The semi-recent changes to MSR handling when entering RTAS firmware cause crashes on IBM Cell machines. An example trace: kernel tried to execute user page 2fff01a8 - exploit attempt...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-49440

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - powerpc/rtas: Keep MSRRI set when calling RTAS RTAS runs in real mode MSRDR and MSRIR unset and in 32-bit big endian mode MSRSF,LE unset. The change in MSR is...

CVE-2022-49440

CVE-2022-49440 affects the Linux kernel (PowerPC RTAS path). The root cause is MSR[RI] not being preserved when entering RTAS, while RTAS runs in real mode and may trigger a panic/ watchdog lockup if MSR[RI] is unset. The fix updates how MSR is computed before calling RTAS, ensuring a hardcoded v...
