TITLE

Intel Virtualization Technology for Direct I/O Authorization problem vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Incomplete cleanup in some Intel(R) VT-d products may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 3.20210608.2~deb10u1. Note that there are two reported regressions; for some CoffeeLake CPUs this update may break iwlwifi (https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/56) and some for Skylake R0/D0 CPUs on systems using a very outdated firmware/BIOS, the system may hang on boot: (https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/31) If you are affected by those issues, you can recover by disabling microcode loading on boot (as documented in README.Debian (also available online at https://salsa.debian.org/hmh/intel-microcode/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian)) 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----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEtuYvPRKsOElcDakFEMKTtsN8TjYFAmDXan0ACgkQEMKTtsN8 Tja9aQ//f1dHsEghQsedGnkMCIa2qLi12UFtb4yW7TYV6uwloqbYZMbymvoXYOAB haasn+yCaGUkXuAHxcGvZuN41EkRhdG4LfS5qoZxPMsw84ETjpV2Ohwhuqwf9P20 9pqV1QLjVPCMiCqvHatkzyRNPtRhIh0uCRx5HtIeOEyKTwhVnUJrrljUXCzMDviD 3As0n0yVUPDIcJdaVxp5mxyebf1NyIYMR+7wmzTBOhK6i+rEE4NkKGkcsYBIM1ch AdTQNHv78QZld6ixL8iCUe1NsSugZ2QjbVL1BLW45fJv3f0BIF5uo6LBzbiJlN/6 xWwOdFTfqW1ORyr0k6JQ+yKz3oSE+jfUStwf+zegWOjYes5gGaA/nATzzNwwFfCQ qDqMmnN26qMI3MswP50ESkNs2JTK3955cIJjnscp5DeFArDuCFKh9wcqSZ46/QCE GVRi+F/Dh3JQxv/jP8jfLhCvkBptuendGo9qK5v22QoeCRoHS16dLu7HHP34hRrw k//EgtP35pD9eTNiIsxhmx3qTPD0gbQbcMG/5NTVtpNqsffAxYtqTy8+/4lfPkNn AYtYrrG6tjEHe1gasLkjthB7c0YLzPLdNyZkNIk6XZ2YIhx18N80c7gTBERSJ1Sh 9lmsnX3+5GWM7Fx2NN2vL5xIEo0einMJCyTlNMRDLim2ix1vpZg= =RVf2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: Red Hat Virtualization Host security update [ovirt-4.4.6] Advisory ID: RHSA-2021:2522-01 Product: Red Hat Virtualization Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:2522 Issue date: 2021-06-22 CVE Names: CVE-2020-24489 CVE-2021-3501 CVE-2021-3560 CVE-2021-27219 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for imgbased, redhat-release-virtualization-host, and redhat-virtualization-host is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL 8-based RHEV-H for RHEV 4 (build requirements) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Virtualization 4 Hypervisor for RHEL 8 - x86_64 3. Description: The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks. The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks. The ovirt-node-ng packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks. Security Fix(es): * glib: integer overflow in g_bytes_new function on 64-bit platforms due to an implicit cast from 64 bits to 32 bits (CVE-2021-27219) * kernel: userspace applications can misuse the KVM API to cause a write of 16 bytes at an offset up to 32 GB from vcpu->run (CVE-2021-3501) * polkit: local privilege escalation using polkit_system_bus_name_get_creds_sync() (CVE-2021-3560) * hw: vt-d related privilege escalation (CVE-2020-24489) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * Previously, systemtap dependencies were not included in the RHV-H channel. Therefore, systemtap could not be installed. In this release, the systemtap dependencies have been included in the channel, resolving the issue. (BZ#1903997) 4.
