hw: cpu: speculative execution permission faults handling

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions a commonly used performance optimization. There are three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative execution can be exploited. Variant...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-3477

The dbus-daemon in D-Bus 1.2.x through 1.4.x, 1.6.x before 1.6.20, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4, sends an AccessDenied error to the service instead of a client when the client is prohibited from accessing the service, which allows local users to cause a denial of service initialization failure and exit...

Updated gnupg package fixes security vulnerability

Yarom and Falkner discovered that RSA secret keys in applications using GnuPG 1.x, and using the libgcrypt library, could be leaked via a side channel attack, where a malicious local user could obtain private key information from another user on the system CVE-2013-4242...

UBUNTU-CVE-2013-1619

The TLS implementation in GnuTLS before 2.12.23, 3.0.x before 3.0.28, and 3.1.x before 3.1.7 does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks...
