Alpine: multiple xen packages: security update to 4.20.1-r0
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428358
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- A transient execution vulnerability in some AMD processors may allow an attacker to infer data from
previous stores, potentially resulting in the leakage of privileged information. (CVE-2024-36350)
- A transient execution vulnerability in some AMD processors may allow an attacker to infer data in the L1D
cache, potentially resulting in the leakage of sensitive information across privileged boundaries.
(CVE-2024-36357)
- Certain instructions need intercepting and emulating by Xen. In some cases Xen emulates the instruction by
replaying it, using an executable stub. Some instructions may raise an exception, which is supposed to be
handled gracefully. Certain replayed instructions have additional logic to set up and recover the changes
to the arithmetic flags. For replayed instructions where the flags recovery logic is used, the metadata
for exception handling was incorrect, preventing Xen from handling the the exception gracefully, treating
it as fatal instead. (CVE-2025-27465)
