Package : amd64-microcode
CVE ID : CVE-2023-20593
Debian Bug : 1041863

Tavis Ormandy discovered that under specific microarchitectural
circumstances, a vector register in “Zen 2” CPUs may not be written to 0
correctly. This flaw allows an attacker to leak register contents across
concurrent processes, hyper threads and virtualized guests.

The initial microcode release by AMD only provides updates for second
generation EPYC CPUs: Various Ryzen CPUs are also affected, but no
updates are available yet. Fixes will be provided in a later update once
they are released.

For more specific details and target dates please refer to the AMD
advisory at
https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7008.html

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 3.20230719.1~deb11u1. Additionally the update contains a fix
for CVE-2019-9836.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.20230719.1~deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your amd64-microcode packages.

For the detailed security status of amd64-microcode please refer to
its security tracker page at:

CVE-2023-33953: Security Bulletins

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...
