Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP Repeated connections from clients with the same IP address may exhaust
the max connections and prevent other normal client connections.
This patch limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ksmbd: limita las conexiones repetidas de clientes con la misma IP. Las conexiones repetidas de clientes con la misma dirección IP pueden agotar el límite máximo de conexiones e impedir otras conexiones normales de clientes. Este parche limita las conexiones repetidas de clientes con la misma IP.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP Repeated connections from clients with the same IP address may exhaust the max connections and prevent other normal client connections. This patch limit repeated connections from clients with the same IP.

It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. Jean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered that the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation between a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This flaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS.
