kernel: Reserved fields in guest message responses may not be zero initialized

Failure to initialize memory in SEV Firmware may allow a privileged attacker to access stale data from other guests.

A TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use) in SMM may allow an attacker with ring0 privileges and access to the BIOS menu or UEFI shell to modify the communications buffer potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

An out of bounds memory write when processing the AMD PSP1 Configuration Block (APCB) could allow an attacker with access the ability to modify the BIOS image, and the ability to sign the resulting image, to potentially modify the APCB block resulting in arbitrary code execution.

kernel: Insufficient check may lead to an incorrect TSC

Due to a code bug in Secure_TSC, SEV firmware may allow an attacker with high privileges to cause a guest to observe an incorrect TSC when Secure TSC is enabled potentially resulting in a loss of guest integrity.  

Improper re-initialization of IOMMU during the DRTM event may permit an untrusted platform configuration to persist, allowing an attacker to read or modify hypervisor memory, potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker with a compromised ASP could possibly send malformed commands to an ASP on another CPU, resulting in an out of bounds write, potentially leading to a loss a loss of integrity.

Improper access control settings in ASP Bootloader may allow an attacker to corrupt the return address causing a stack-based buffer overrun potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

Insufficient input validation on the model specific register: VM_HSAVE_PA may potentially lead to loss of SEV-SNP guest memory integrity.

Improper input validation in ABL may enable an attacker with physical access, to perform arbitrary memory overwrites, potentially leading to a loss of integrity and code execution.

Improper validation of DRAM addresses in SMU may allow an attacker to overwrite sensitive memory locations within the ASP potentially resulting in a denial of service.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may enable a privileged attacker to write beyond the intended bounds of a shared memory buffer potentially leading to a loss of integrity.

Insufficient validation of inputs in SVC_MAP_USER_STACK in the ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker with a malicious Uapp or ABL to send malformed or invalid syscall to the bootloader resulting in a potential denial of service and loss of integrity.

Insufficient address validation, may allow an attacker with a compromised ABL and UApp to corrupt sensitive memory locations potentially resulting in a loss of integrity or availability.

Insufficient input validation of mailbox data in the SMU may allow an attacker to coerce the SMU to corrupt SMRAM, potentially leading to a loss of integrity and privilege escalation.

A compromised or malicious ABL or UApp could send a SHA256 system call to the bootloader, which may result in exposure of ASP memory to userspace, potentially leading to information disclosure.

Insufficient bounds checking in ASP may allow an attacker to issue a system call from a compromised ABL which may cause arbitrary memory values to be initialized to zero, potentially leading to a loss of integrity.

Insufficient input validation in the SMU may allow an attacker to corrupt SMU SRAM potentially leading to a loss of integrity or denial of service.

kernel: hw:amd:IOMMU improperly handles certain special address leading to a loss of guest integrity

IOMMU improperly handles certain special address ranges with invalid device table entries (DTEs), which may allow an attacker with privileges and a compromised Hypervisor to induce DTE faults to bypass RMP checks in SEV-SNP, potentially leading to a loss of guest integrity.

Improper address validation in ASP with SNP enabled may potentially allow an attacker to compromise guest memory integrity.

hw: amd: SEV VM Power Side Channel Security Notice

A potential power side-channel vulnerability in some AMD processors may allow an authenticated attacker to use the power reporting functionality to monitor a program’s execution inside an AMD SEV VM potentially resulting in a leak of sensitive information.
