Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Write-protect L2 SPTEs in TDP MMU when clearing dirty status Check kvm_mmu_page_ad_need_write_protect() when deciding whether to
write-protect or clear D-bits on TDP MMU SPTEs, so that the TDP MMU
accounts for any role-specific reasons for disabling D-bit dirty logging. Specifically, TDP MMU SPTEs must be write-protected when the TDP MMU is
being used to run an L2 (i.e. L1 has disabled EPT) and PML is enabled.
KVM always disables PML when running L2, even when L1 and L2 GPAs are in
the some domain, so failing to write-protect TDP MMU SPTEs will cause
writes made by L2 to not be reflected in the dirty log. [sean: massage shortlog and changelog, tweak ternary op formatting]
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: KVM: x86/mmu: Proteger contra escritura los SPTE L2 en la MMU TDP al borrar el estado sucio. Verifique kvm_mmu_page_ad_need_write_protect() cuando decida si desea proteger contra escritura o borrar los bits D en los SPTE de la MMU TDP. , de modo que la MMU TDP tenga en cuenta cualquier motivo específico de la función para deshabilitar el registro sucio de bits D. Específicamente, los SPTE de TDP MMU deben estar protegidos contra escritura cuando la TDP MMU se utiliza para ejecutar un L2 (es decir, L1 tiene EPT deshabilitado) y PML está habilitado. KVM siempre desactiva PML cuando se ejecuta L2, incluso cuando los GPA L1 y L2 están en algún dominio, por lo que si no se protegen contra escritura los SPTE TDP MMU, las escrituras realizadas por L2 no se reflejarán en el registro sucio.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
