USN-9040-1: Linux kernel (Low Latency NVIDIA) vulnerabilities
It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly perform Reverse Map Table (RMP) checks when the IOMMU accessed certain host buffers. A local attacker with hypervisor access could possibly use this to trigger an out-of-bounds condition and compromise the integrity of SEV-SNP guest memory. (CVE-2023-20585) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - USB Gadget drivers; - Memory management; - NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Memory Device) drivers; - Network file systems library; - Handshake API; - Networking core; - Stream parser; - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - M68K architecture; - MIPS architecture; - OpenRISC architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Intel NPU Driver; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - S
