These CVEs are both related to the way that the linux kernel handles certain interrupt and exception instructions. If an interrupt or exception instruction (INT3, SYSCALL, etc.) is immediately preceded by a MOV SS or POP SS instruction, the resulting interrupt will be incorrectly handled, possibly crashing the operating system. The issue can be triggered by an unprivileged user. The fix for this problem requires modification of the interrupt descriptor tables (IDT), and modification of the interrupt handlers. Livepatch is unable to safely modify these areas, so upgrading to a corrected kernel and rebooting is required to fix the problem. Additional information about this problem can be found here: - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/Pop_SS Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel Update instructions: The problem can be corrected byinstalling an updated kernel with these fixes and rebooting.
