A set of carefully crafted ipv6 packets can trigger an integer overflow in the calculation of a fragment reassembled packet's payload length field. This allows an attacker to trigger a kernel panic, resulting in a denial of service.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5462-1 - Tavis Ormandy discovered that under specific microarchitectural circumstances, a vector register in AMD "Zen 2" CPUs may not be written to 0 correctly. This flaw allows an attacker to leak sensitive information across concurrent processes, hyper threads and virtualized guests.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5461-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6256-1 - Jiasheng Jiang discovered that the HSA Linux kernel driver for AMD Radeon GPU devices did not properly validate memory allocation in certain situations, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Zheng Wang discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5459-1 - 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.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6244-1 - Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle speculative execution of certain vector register instructions. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

A new security vulnerability has been discovered in AMD's Zen 2 architecture-based processors that could be exploited to extract sensitive data such as encryption keys and passwords. Discovered by Google Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy, the flaw – codenamed Zenbleed and tracked as CVE-2023-20593 (CVSS score: 6.5) – allows data exfiltration at the rate of 30 kb per core, per second. The

The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH versions prior to 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system.

Based on Kata Containers, the Confidential Containers (CoCo) project is a community solution to enable hardware technologies for virtualized memory encryption in container environments through attestation. CoCo SEV enables an encrypted container launch feature by utilizing a remote key broker service to verify the guest measured environment before releasing the image decryption key during orchestration. This blog demonstrates how to prepare an EPYC™ CPU-powered machine for SEV and CoCo, how to install CoCo using a Kubernetes operator, and how to create an encrypted image and start a containe

ChakraCore branch master cbb9b was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function Js::EntryPointInfo::HasInlinees().
