AZL-6575 CVE-2021-3653 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.10.78.1-1

A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2. Due to improper validation of the "intctl" field, this issue could allow a malicious ...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-22543

An issue was discovered in Linux: KVM through Improper handling of VMIO|VMPFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and ca...

kernel: insufficient input validation in kernel mode driver in Intel i915 graphics leads to privilege escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of GVT-g which allowed an attacker with access to a 'passed through' Intel i915 graphics card to possibly access resources allocated to other virtual machines, crash the host, or possibly corrupt memory leading to privilege escalation...

The vulnerability of the Hyper-V hardware virtualization system in the Windows operating system allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the Hyper-V hardware virtualization system in the Windows operating system exists due to insufficient validation of input data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow a malicious actor to cause service interruptions through a specially created application...

UBUNTU-CVE-2018-19961

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x on AMD x86 platforms, possibly allowing guest OS users to gain host OS privileges because TLB flushes do not always occur after IOMMU mapping changes...

UBUNTU-CVE-2018-18021

arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c in KVM in the Linux kernel before 4.18.12 on the arm64 platform mishandles the KVMSETONREG ioctl. This is exploitable by attackers who can create virtual machines. An attacker can arbitrarily redirect the hypervisor flow of control with full register control. An attacker ca...

kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption

A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the GDT.LIMIT to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB. With a corrupted GDT limit a host's userspace code has an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT, particularly to the per-cp...

USN-3698-1 linux vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the nested KVM implementation in the Linux kernel in some situations did not properly prevent second level guests from reading and writing the hardware CR8 register. A local attacker in a guest could use this to cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2017-12154 Fan Wu,...

Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CNVD-2018-10730)

Microsoft Windows 10 and others are a series of operating systems released by Microsoft Corporation USA.Windows Hyper-V is one of the virtualization products that supports the creation of virtual machines in Windows. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V that...

Kernel: KVM: error in exception handling leads to wrong debug stack value

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first...

Kernel: KVM: debug exception via syscall emulation

A flaw was found in the way the Linux KVM module processed the trap flagTF bit in EFLAGS during emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a debug exceptionDB being raised in the guest stack. A user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to potentially escalate their privileges insi...

virt: guest to host DoS by triggering an infinite loop in microcode via #DB exception

It was found that the x86 ISA Instruction Set Architecture is prone to a denial of service attack inside a virtualized environment in the form of an infinite loop in the microcode due to the way sequential delivering of benign exceptions such as DB debug exception is handled. A privileged user...

The vulnerability of Hyper-V software allows a malicious actor to trigger a service failure.

The Hyper-V component of the Windows operating system contains a vulnerability related to errors that occur when a specially crafted application is launched on a virtual machine. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause a failure in the virtual machine controller...

USN-2516-2 linux vulnerability

USN-2516-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. There was an unrelated regression in the use of the virtual counter CNTVCT on arm64 architectures. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: A flaw was discovered in the Kernel Virtual...
