CVE-2022-42331

CVE-2022-42331 describes a Xen hypervisor SPECULATIVE execution vulnerability on the x86 32-bit SYSCALL path. Root cause: an oversight in the original Spectre/Meltdown work (XSA-254) leads to an entrypath performing its speculation-safety actions too late, leaving an unprotected RET instruction i...

CVE-2022-42331

x86: speculative vulnerability in 32bit SYSCALL path Due to an oversight in the very original Spectre/Meltdown security work XSA-254, one entrypath performs its speculation-safety actions too late. In some configurations, there is an unprotected RET instruction which can be attacked with a variet...

USN-5883-1 linux-hwe vulnerabilities

Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or execute arbitrary code. CVE-2022-4378 It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed i...

SUSE CVE-2020-10767

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of the Enhanced IBPB Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier. The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation IBRS is available. This flaw allows a loc...

SUSE CVE-2020-10768

A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the prctl function, where it can be used to enable indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled. This call incorrectly reports it as being 'force disabled' when it is not and opens the system to Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threa...

SUSE CVE-2021-28689

x86: Speculative vulnerabilities with bare non-shim 32-bit PV guests 32-bit x86 PV guest kernels run in ring 1. At the time when Xen was developed, this area of the i386 architecture was rarely used, which is why Xen was able to use it to implement paravirtualisation, Xen's novel approach to...

USN-5854-1 linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi2 vulnerabilities

It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the Video for Linux 2 V4L2 implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2022-20369 Pawan Kumar Gupta, Alyssa Milburn, Ami...

Florida hospital takes entire IT systems offline after 'ransomware attack'

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare TMH, a major hospital system in northern Florida, has reportedly been experiencing an "IT security issue" since Thursday evening, which impacted some of its IT systems. When TMH learned of the issue, it took its entire IT systems offline as a precaution and contact...

UBUNTU-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...

RHEL 8 : kpatch-patch (RHSA-2020:3073)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:3073 advisory. This is a kernel live patch module which is automatically loaded by the RPM post-install script to modify the code of a running kernel...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description: A potential spectre v1 gadget in the ip metrics convert function has been resolved. The issue arises from the use of the type variable as an array index, which could lead to cpu...

DEBIAN-CVE-2022-2196

A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks. L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after running L2 due to KVM L0 advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code...

The vulnerability of the KVM virtualization subsystem in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to gain unauthorized access and increase their privileges.

The vulnerability of the KVM virtualization subsystem in the Linux operating system is related to the execution of the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier IBPB mechanism on the virtual machine when the guest system uses the Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation IBRS mechanism for indirect branch...

kernel: x86/speculation: Fill RSB on vmexit for IBRS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/speculation: Fill RSB on vmexit for IBRS Prevent RSB underflow/poisoning attacks with RSB. While at it, add a bunch of comments to attempt to document the current state of tribal knowledge about RSB attacks and what exactly i...
