Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix use-after-free of timer for log writer thread Patch series "nilfs2: fix log writer related issues". This bug fix series covers three nilfs2 log writer-related issues,
including a timer use-after-free issue and potential deadlock issue on
unmount, and a potential freeze issue in event synchronization found
during their analysis. Details are described in each commit log. This patch (of 3): A use-after-free issue has been reported regarding the timer sc_timer on
the nilfs_sc_info structure. The problem is that even though it is used to wake up a sleeping log
writer thread, sc_timer is not shut down until the nilfs_sc_info structure
is about to be freed, and is used regardless of the thread's lifetime. Fix this issue by limiting the use of sc_timer only while the log writer
thread is alive.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nilfs2: corrige el use-after-free del temporizador para el hilo del escritor de registros Serie de parches "nilfs2: corrige problemas relacionados con el escritor de registros". Esta serie de corrección de errores cubre tres problemas relacionados con el escritor de registros nilfs2, incluido un problema de use-after-free del temporizador y un posible problema de bloqueo al desmontar, y un posible problema de congelación en la sincronización de eventos encontrado durante su análisis. Los detalles se describen en cada registro de confirmación. Este parche (de 3): Se informó un problema de use-after-free con respecto al temporizador sc_timer en la estructura nilfs_sc_info. El problema es que, aunque se utiliza para reactivar un subproceso de escritura de registros inactivo, sc_timer no se cierra hasta que la estructura nilfs_sc_info está a punto de liberarse y se utiliza independientemente de la vida útil del subproceso. Solucione este problema limitando el uso de sc_timer solo mientras el subproceso del escritor de registros esté activo.

Benedict Schlüter, 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.
