AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: iwl100-firmware / iwl1000-firmware / iwl105-firmware / etc Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1740470712)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 360293

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1740470712 advisory.

 - 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-2023-20584)

 - 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. (CVE-2023-31356)

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 based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1740470712.
