Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution
EUVDB-ID: #VU79262
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40982
CWE-ID:
CWE-1342 - Information Exposure through Microarchitectural State after Transient Execution
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way data is shared between threads whereby the AVX GATHER instructions on Intel processors can forward the content of stale vector registers to dependent instructions. A malicious guest can infer data from different contexts on the same core and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Update the affected package xen to the latest version.
