Debian: DLA-3404-1 Critical: Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation

debian lts
Calendar Grey May 2, 2023
Dist Debian Esm H88
Multiple weaknesses identified in Debian's Linux kernel necessitate prompt action to prevent potential security threats.
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service, or information leak

Summary

A regression was discovered the KVM implementation for Intel CPUs,
affecting Spectre v2 mitigation for nested virtualisation. When
KVM was used as the L0 hypervisor, an L2 guest could exploit this
to leak sensitive information from its L1 hypervisor.

CVE-2022-3424

Zheng Wang and Zhuorao Yang reported a flaw in the SGI GRU driver
which could lead to a use-after-free. On systems where this driver
is used, a local user can explit this for denial of service (crash
or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel
configurations.

CVE-2022-3707

Zheng Wang reported a flaw in the i915 graphics driver's
virtualisation (GVT-g) support that could lead to a double-free.
On systems where this feature is used, a guest can exploit this
for denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for
privilege escalation.
