Description
The issue involves multiple vulnerabilities in various packages of the openSUSE and Debian GNU/Linux operating systems, which can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can be carried out remotely or locally, depending on the specific package affected. In the case of the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the
kvm set msr common function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service, including buffer overflow and host OS memory corruption, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.8.4, update to a version 3.8.4 or later to resolve the issue.
For systemtap-runtime-debuginfo, systemtap-sdt-devel, systemtap, libvmtools0, systemtap-client, systemtap-client-debuginfo, kernel-vanilla-base-debuginfo, systemtap-server-debuginfo, libvmtools0-debuginfo, systemtap-runtime, kernel-vanilla-base, systemtap-server, systemtap-debuginfo, systemtap-debugsource, and libvmtools-devel, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
