Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 6.1, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Load DR6 with the guest value only before entering the .vcpurun loop. Move the conditional loading of hardware DR6 with the guest’s DR6 value out of the core .vcpurun loop to fix a bug where KVM may load hardware with a...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

A flaw was discovered in KVM. An improper check in svmsetx2apicmsrinterception may allow direct access to the host’s x2apic MSRs when the guest resets its APIC, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

A flaw was discovered in the implementation of the 9p passthrough filesystem 9pfs in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not prevent the opening of special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel. The existing KVM SEV API contains a vulnerability that allows a non-root host user-level application to crash the host kernel by creating a confidential guest VM instance in an AMD CPU that supports Secure Encrypted Virtualization SEV...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Xen

A issue was discovered in Xen through version 4.11.x, allowing users of x86 Intel HVM guest operating systems to obtain unintended read/write DMA access. This could potentially lead to a denial of service causing the host operating system to crash or result in privilege escalation. This issue...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

Transmitted requests in Xen’s virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. Although none of them are actually useful, except for the initial part, any of these parts can be of zero length, meaning they carry no data at all. Apart from the certain initial portion of the data to be...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: fix in setting the fpc register The function kvmarchvcpuioctlsetfpu allows for setting the floating-point control fpc register of a guest CPU. The new value is tested for validity by temporarily loading it into the fpc...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Do not generate errors if the user space injects an interrupt with GIF=0. Do not generate errors or warnings during interrupt injection when GIF is cleared. It is trivial for the user space to force this situation using...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Complete command early within lock A crash was observed while performing NPIV and FW reset. BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000001c PF: Supervisor read access in kernel mode PF:...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: MIPS: KVM: Fix for NULL pointer dereferencing After committing change 45c7e8af4a5e3f0bea4ac209 “MIPS: Remove KVMTE support”, we encountered a NULL pointer dereferencing issue when creating a KVM guest: 146.243409 Starting KVM wit...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

A flaw was discovered in KVM. When updating a guest’s page table entry, vmpgoff was incorrectly used as the offset to obtain the page’s pfn. Since vaddr and vmpgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s KVM module. This flaw can lead to a denial of service in the x86emulateinsn function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c. The flaw occurs when an illegal instruction is executed on the guest CPU of the Intel model...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in open-vm-tools

A malicious actor who has been granted “Guest Operation Privileges” https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-security/GUID-6A952214-0E5E-4CCF-9D2A-90948FF643EC.html can potentially elevate their privileges if the target virtual machine has been assigned a more privileged “Guest Alias...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/gntdev: Accommodation for VMA splitting Prior to this commit, the gntdev driver code did not handle the following scenario correctly with paravirtualized PV Xen domains: The user process sets up a gntdev mapping consisting of...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the KVM’s AMD code, which handles SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs during the processing of the VMCB virtual machine control block provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest L2.
