Related CVEs:
- CVE-2022-45869: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the KVM. A race condition in direct_page_fault allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash or host OS memory corruption) when nested virtualization and the TDP MMU are enabled.
- CVE-2023-0458: A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the ‘rlim’ variable and can be used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11
- CVE-2023-1998: It was found that the Linux Kernel still left the victim process exposed to attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The kernel failed to protect applications that attempted to protect against Spectre v2 leaving them open to attack from other processes running on the same physical core in another hyperthread.
- CVE-2023-3090: A flaw was found in the IPVLAN network driver in the Linux kernel. This issue is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in
__ip_options_echo
and can lead to an out-of-bounds write stack overflow. This may allow a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially achieve local privilege escalation. - CVE-2023-35788: A flaw was found in the TC flower classifier (cls_flower) in the Networking subsystem of the Linux kernel. This issue occurs when sending two TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets with a total size of 252 bytes, which results in an out-of-bounds write when the third packet enters fl_set_geneve_opt, potentially leading to a denial of service or privilege escalation.

A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.

A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11
The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection. However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons, which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target injection against which STIBP protects.
