Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46329)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient implementation of security measures. A local user can bypass implemented security restrictions and elevate privileges on the system.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20569)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a side channel issue in AMD CPUs. A remote user can influence the return address prediction and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
3) Reliance on undefined behavior (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20592)
CWE-ID: CWE-758 - Reliance on Undefined, Unspecified, or Implementation-Defined Behavior
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to unexpected behavior of the INVD instruction in some AMD CPUs. A malicious hypervisor can affect cache line write-back behavior of the CPU and modify guest virtual machine (VM) memory.
