Synopsis
The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0223 advisory.Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 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:
Improper validation in a model specific register (MSR) could allow a malicious program with ring0 access to modify SMM configuration while SMI lock is enabled, potentially leading 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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
