CVE-2024-25742
Description
A vulnerability was found in AMD SEV-SNP, where a malicious hypervisor can potentially break confidentiality and integrity of SEV-SNP on Linux guests by injecting interrupts. An attacker can inject interrupt 0x80, which is used by Linux for legacy 32-bit system calls, and arbitrarily change the value stored in EAX while a SEV VM is running.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
