Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ax25: Fix netdev refcount issue The dev_tracker is added to ax25_cb in ax25_bind(). When the
ax25 device is detaching, the dev_tracker of ax25_cb should be
deallocated in ax25_kill_by_device() instead of the dev_tracker
of ax25_dev. The log reported by ref_tracker is shown below: [ 80.884935] ref_tracker: reference already released.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ax25: soluciona el problema de recuento de netdev. El dev_tracker se agrega a ax25_cb en ax25_bind(). Cuando el dispositivo ax25 se está desconectando, el dev_tracker de ax25_cb debe desasignarse en ax25_kill_by_device() en lugar del dev_tracker de ax25_dev.

Benedict SchlÃ¼ter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP. This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
