CVE-2022-39189

Se ha detectado un problema en el subsistema KVM x86 en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.18.17. Los usuarios invitados no privilegiados pueden comprometer el kernel invitado porque las operaciones de vaciado del TLB son manejadas inapropiadamente en determinadas situaciones de KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED

A flaw was found in the x86 KVM subsystem in kvm_steal_time_set_preempted in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel. Unprivileged guest users can compromise the guest kernel because TLB flush operations are mishandled in certain KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED situations.

Selim Enes Karaduman discovered that a race condition existed in the General notification queue implementation of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Pawan Kumar Gupta, Alyssa Milburn, Amit Peled, Shani Rehana, Nir Shildan and Ariel Sabba discovered that some Intel processors with Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation did not properly handle RET instructions after a VM exits. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
