UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56721: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which systems are exposed to this issue?

The affected Ubuntu kernel packages listed are linux-realtime, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, linux-riscv, linux-hwe-edge, and linux-azure-fde. The issue is in x86 CPU handling for an AMD microcode erratum.

Q: What level of access does an attacker need?

The CVSS vector indicates local access with low privileges is required. No user interaction is required.

Q: What is the potential impact?

The vector indicates high confidentiality and availability impact, with no integrity impact. The flaw can cause x86_match_cpu_with_stepping() to iterate beyond the end of the erratum_1386_microcode array.

Published Dec 29, 2024

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/CPU/AMD: Terminate the erratum1386microcode array The erratum1386microcode array requires an empty entry at the end. Otherwise x86matchcpuwithstepping() will continue iterate the array after it ended. Add an empty entry to erratum1386microcode to its end.
