The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0550 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-20584:
    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.

    CVE-2023-31315:
    A flaw was found in hw. Improper validation in a model-specific register (MSR) could allow a malicious     program with ring0 access to modify the SMM configuration while the SMI lock is enabled. This issue can     lead to arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2023-31356:
    Incomplete system memory cleanup in SEV firmware could     allow a privileged attacker to corrupt guest private memory, potentially     resulting in a loss of data integrity.
