Affected: Linux, Siemens SIMATIC CN 4100

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: pfr_update: Fix the driver update version check

The security-version-number check should be used rather than the runtime version check for driver updates.

Otherwise, the firmware update would fail when the update binary had a lower runtime version number than the current one.

Affected: Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-raspi

It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. (CVE-2024-36331)

Oleksii Oleksenko, Cedric Fournet, Jana Hofmann, Boris Köpf, Stavros Volos, and Flavien Solt discovered that some AMD processors may allow an attacker to infer data from previous stores, potentially resulting in the leakage of privileged information. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-36350, CVE-2024-36357)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
