Description: The libvirt library contains a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems. Security Fix(es): * A flaw was found in the implementation of the "fill buffer", a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page fault, the execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data is fetched from higher level caches. This response time can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer. (CVE-2018-12130) * Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level micro-optimizations to improve the performance of writing data back to CPU caches. The write operation is split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore Data) sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the processor to hand-off address generation logic into these sub-operations for optimized writes. Both of these sub-operations write to a shared distributed processor structure called the 'processor store buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read private data resident within the CPU's processor store buffer. (CVE-2018-12126) * Microprocessors use a ‘load port’ subcomponent to perform load operations from memory or IO. During a load operation, the load port receives data from the memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to the CPU registers and operations in the CPU’s pipelines. Stale load operations results are stored in the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by an attacker can be used to reveal data about previous stale requests leaking data back to the attacker via a timing side-channel.

Description: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM. Once all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to take effect. It provides mitigations for the MSBDS, MFBDS, MLPDS and MDSUM hardware vulnerabilities. To fully resolve these vulnerabilities it is also necessary to update the Linux kernel packages as released in DSA 4444. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 3.20190514.1~deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages. For the detailed security status of intel-microcode please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/intel-microcode Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://www.debian.org/security/ Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEtuYvPRKsOElcDakFEMKTtsN8TjYFAlzb2WsACgkQEMKTtsN8 TjZ+PBAAqVaw+/6ZsLEwj4aPlI0XrDP1MEWLHSFyOpOluNKaHSfCR1MopjdmSykT 91es+HCLISwbpuhPy8a+rPEZnSwnQczuXJITMVnW0Z9noUvTf/BnN/dAdwTa8Ka8 DkhBnvmc5gOkdcG7il+PaI1byZ5/6S+znqhDiN4VSZg3h1LhJMk9h9kUjQS+W6uC qA4JGdJsqeQShngE8njGetwCaf29+e2OQ3RfuDp+6XgsQln2ZOi7r69Bj5VmH5jB yYzMMp8n0jMKelzqP9HtniL/P/75foDhQrP95k8gFaeRaLTEIb0NNLP1JpiaVKtn +c+1yMN6R7JG86AOlNOq/xUHv3pkuP9i2PBEga/956nQZf9g9/5tc6/K0dgHl4Yx zn1SKQrKdXVqtvYx6boh3cPqoJ99W32GijQHr2N8ezjdmW7SHMGtpnSVO88nDbH4 JVdxVhtY4JCsDJxYIwb6T4p3TSGIzN0T7y5/YqItqObmblLpg8jASWNkrepH3jqY a9swwMelQTsop5LFTwgYbTznXSEE+AorFTc+hOvScR4ZSr8kPVK/nf/m+h5Zj68B Lx/nnOQZFYySrNBKMfMLCXmrmMWP3ZavMiiEJL4GbWfNFAEJH4P+2UwsjwyEVW3h NrRAdm0MqsY86tHBWmDGhNMYjShKm/vG5mMpWg5r3AG3IhG1x/U= =PWZK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- . Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD. Corrected: 2019-05-14 17:04:00 UTC (stable/12, 12.0-STABLE) 2019-05-14 23:19:08 UTC (releng/12.0, 12.0-RELEASE-p4) 2019-05-14 17:05:02 UTC (stable/11, 11.3-PRERELEASE) 2019-05-14 23:20:16 UTC (releng/11.2, 11.2-RELEASE-p10) CVE Name: CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130, CVE-2019-11091 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>. Background Modern processors make use of speculative execution, an optimization technique which performs some action in advance of knowing whether the result will actually be used. II. III. Impact An attacker may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from a process when executing untrusted code (for example, in a web browser). IV. Workaround No workaround is available. Systems with users or processors in different trust domains should disable Hyper-Threading by setting the machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable to 0: # echo 'machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0 >> /boot/loader.conf' # shutdown V. Solution Perform one of the following: Update CPU microcode, upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date, evaluate mitigation and Hyper Threading controls, and reboot the system. New CPU microcode may be available in a BIOS update from your system vendor, or by installing the devcpu-data package or sysutils/devcpu-data port. Ensure that the BIOS update or devcpu-data package is dated after 2014-05-14. If using the package or port the microcode update can be applied at boot time by adding the following lines to the system's /boot/loader.conf: cpu_microcode_load="YES" cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin" Microcode updates can also be applied while the system is running. See cpucontrol(8) for details. 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install Follow additional details under "Mitigation Configuration" below. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile your kernel as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html>. Mitigation Configuration Systems with users, processes, or virtual machines in different trust domains should disable Hyper-Threading by setting the machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable to 0: # echo machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0 >> /boot/loader.conf To activate the MDS mitigation set the hw.mds_disable sysctl. The settings are: 0 - mitigation disabled 1 - VERW instruction (microcode) mitigation enabled 2 - Software sequence mitigation enabled (not recommended) 3 - Automatic VERW or Software selection Automatic mode uses the VERW instruction if supported by the CPU / microcode, or software sequences if not. To enable automatic mode at boot: # echo hw.mds_disable=3 >> /etc/sysctl.conf Reboot the system: # shutdown -r +10min "Security update" Check the mitigation status: # sysctl hw.mds_disable_state hw.mds_disable_state: software Silvermont VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch.
