CVE-2022-2153: KVM: x86: Avoid theoretical NULL pointer dereference in kvm_irq_deliv… · torvalds/linux@00b5f37
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service.

KVM: x86: Avoid theoretical NULL pointer dereference in kvm_irq_deliv…
…ery_to_apic_fast()
When kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast() is called with APIC_DEST_SELF shorthand, ‘src’ must not be NULL. Crash the VM with KVM_BUG_ON() instead of crashing the host.

Dell VxRail versions earlier than 7.0.450, contain(s) an OS command injection vulnerability in VxRail Manager. A local authenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary OS commands on the application's underlying OS, with the privileges of the vulnerable application. Exploitation may lead to a system take over by an attacker.
Hello everyone! Great news for my open source Scanvus project! You can now perform vulnerability checks on Linux hosts and docker images not only using the Vulners.com API, but also with the Vulns.io VM API. It’s especially nice that all the code to support the new API was written and contributed by colleagues from Vulns.io. […]
Ubuntu Security Notice 5774-1 - Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
