Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU65122

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12966

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information Exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a Ciphertext side channel attack on ECC and DH operations in the Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Encrypted State (SEV-ES) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). A local user with control over hypervisor can obtain sensitive data from the guest OS.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

2) Cryptographic issues

EUVDB-ID: #VU63692

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46744

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a ciphertext side channel attack where data in specific cryptographic algorithms can be inferred in a SEV guest by monitoring the ciphertext values over time. A local user with access to the hypervisor can gain access to sensitive information, related to the guest OS.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU65123

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34293

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an implementation error in DTLS 1.0/1.2, which causes the return-routability check, intended to protect application against DoS attacks, to be wrongly skipped in a specific edge case. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack by consuming excessive resources on the server.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
