Linux Kernel (AWS) Vulnerabilities — Ubuntu Security Update (USN-9034-1)
USN-9034-1 updates the linux-aws kernel packages used on AWS EC2 instances for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, fixing 18 distinct kernel CVEs. The headline flaw (CVE-2022-23037): several Xen paravirtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights of device backends, so a malicious backend could gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service in the guest. The advisory carries CVSS 7 with CWE-362 (race conditions) in this advisory's data.
SharedLicense लाइसेंस के तहत इसका अर्थ
The Xen frontend flaws matter wherever guests talk to untrusted backends — multi-tenant virtualization setups above all. On AWS, the linux-aws flavour is the exposed build. Apply the kernel update and reboot; the notice's own data rates the family up to CVSS 7.
Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para-
virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights
of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend
to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service
in the guest. (CVE-2022-23037)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
