Resource management error in Linux kernel - CVE-2020-10767

Vulnerability identifier: #VU47075

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10767

CWE-ID: CWE-399

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of the Enhanced IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier). The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) is available. This flaw allows a local user to perform a Spectre V2 style attack when this configuration is active.
