MSRC_CVE-2023-46813

Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2023-10-01 00:00 - Updated: 2024-06-30 07:00
Summary
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9 exploitable by local users with userspace access to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before the #VC handler reads it.
