Rocky Linux vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2023-31346 is a security vulnerability identified in AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) Firmware that involves a failure to initialize memory properly. The vulnerability was disclosed on February 13, 2024, affecting various AMD EPYC processor firmware versions (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.0 (Medium), with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N. This indicates that the vulnerability requires local access and high privileges to exploit, but can potentially lead to high confidentiality impact across security boundaries (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows a privileged attacker to access stale data from other guests due to improper memory initialization in the SEV Firmware. This could potentially lead to information disclosure across virtual machine boundaries (NVD, RedHat).
Mitigation and workarounds
AMD has released firmware updates to address this vulnerability. The fix is included in MILAN firmware version milanpi1.0.0.c and GENOA firmware version genoapi1.0.0.b. System administrators should apply these firmware updates to affected systems (AMD Advisory).
