CVE-2020-10766 -- linux-imageID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:2003813 | Date: (C)2020-10-08 (M)2024-05-22 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
A logic bug flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of SSBD. A bug in the logic handling allows an attacker with a local account to disable SSBD protection during a context switch when additional speculative execution mitigations are in place. This issue was introduced when the per task/process conditional STIPB switching was added on top of the existing SSBD switching. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
