[USN-3542-1] Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Severity High
Affected Packages 9
CVEs 2
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

Several security issues were addressed in the Linux kernel.

Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative
execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via
sidechannel attacks. This flaw is known as Spectre. A local attacker
could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel
memory. This update provides mitigations for the i386 (CVE-2017-5753
only) and amd64 architectures.
