TencentOS Server 3: linux-firmware (TSSA-2024:0550)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 276304

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
