[USN-3524-1] Linux kernel vulnerability

Severity Critical
Affected Packages 9
CVEs 1
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution
and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via
sidechannel attacks. This flaw is known as Meltdown. A local attacker could
use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.
