USN-5070-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Maxim Levitsky and Paolo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation for AMD processors in the Linux kernel allowed a guest VM to disable restrictions on VMLOAD/VMSAVE in a nested guest. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to read or write portions of the host's physical memory...

kernel: powerpc: RTAS calls can be used to compromise kernel integrity

A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked down usually due to Secure Boot guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors pseries platform a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to...

Security Bulletin: GRUB2 as used by IBM QRadar SIEM is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

Summary GRUB2 as used by IBM QRadar SIEM is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2021-20225 DESCRIPTION: GNU GRUB2 could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a heap out-of-bounds write flaw in the short form...

kernel: security bypass in certs/blacklist.c and certs/system_keyring.c

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in certs/blacklist.c, When signature entries for EFICERTX509GUID are contained in the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database, the entries are skipped. This can cause a security threat and breach system integrity, confidentiality and even lead to a denial of...

grub2: Use-after-free in rmmod command

A flaw was found in grub2. The rmmod implementation allows the unloading of a module used as a dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow arbitrary code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections. The...

grub2: cutmem command allows privileged user to remove memory regions when Secure Boot is enabled

A flaw was found in grub2. The cutmem command does not honor secure boot locking allowing an privileged attacker to remove address ranges from memory creating an opportunity to circumvent SecureBoot protections after proper triage about grub's memory layout. The highest threat from this...

grub2: Stack buffer overflow in grub_parser_split_cmdline()

A flaw was found in grub2. Variable names present are expanded in the supplied command line into their corresponding variable contents, using a 1kB stack buffer for temporary storage, without sufficient bounds checking. If the function is called with a command line that references a variable with...

grub2: Out-of-bounds write in grub_usb_device_initialize()

A flaw was found in grub2. During USB device initialization, descriptors are read with very little bounds checking and assumes the USB device is providing sane values. If properly exploited, an attacker could trigger memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution allowing a bypass of the...

grub2: acpi command allows privileged user to load crafted ACPI tables when Secure Boot is enabled

A flaw was found in GRUB 2, where it incorrectly enables the usage of the ACPI command when Secure Boot is enabled. This flaw allows an attacker with privileged access to craft a Secondary System Description Table SSDT containing code to overwrite the Linux kernel lockdown variable content direct...
