Summary
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: ipvlan: out-of-bounds write caused by unclear skb->cb (CVE-2023-3090)
* kernel: cls_flower: out-of-bounds write in fl_set_geneve_opt() (CVE-2023-35788)
* kernel: KVM: x86/mmu: race condition in direct_page_fault() (CVE-2022-45869)
* kernel: speculative pointer dereference in do_prlimit() in kernel/sys.c (CVE-2023-0458)
* kernel: Spectre v2 SMT mitigations problem (CVE-2023-1998)

High 7.8
Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel's ipvlan network driver
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is r…

High 7.8CVE-2023-35788 Public exploit
An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7. It allows an o…

Medium 5.6CVE-2023-1998 Public exploit
Spectre v2 SMT mitigations problem in Linux kernel
The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel sti…

Spectre V1 Gadget in do_prlimit in the Linux Kernel
A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading…
