Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM – Fix for a panic occurring on an out-of-bounds guest IRQ. Since the guestIRQ comes from the KVMIRQFD API call, it may trigger a crash in svmupdatepiirte, due to an out-of-bounds access. Crash output: pid: 22218 task:...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Write-protecting of L2 SPTEs in TDP MMU when clearing dirty status Check kvmmmupageadneedwriteprotect when deciding whether to write-protect or clear D-bits on TDP MMU SPTEs. This ensures that the TDP MMU takes into...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Warns when a triple fault assertion never “escapes” from L2 The warnings are removed because they perform a sanity check that ensures KVM never allows a triple fault in L2 to escape and end up in L1. In normal operation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igb: Clean up operations in all error paths when enabling SR-IOV After commit 50f303496d92 “igb: Enabling SR-IOV after reinit”, removing the igb module could cause a hang or crash depending on the machine when the module was load...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, Linux, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: Always flush the async PF workqueue when a vCPU is being destroyed. Whenever a vCPU clears its completion queue, i.e., when a VM and all its vCPUs are being destroyed, the async PF workqueue must always be flushed. KVM must...
