Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> x86/bugs: Make Safe-RET robust against interrupt injection<br /> <br /> An attacker injecting interrupts while the Safe-RET mitigation executes<br /> on machines affected by SRSO can neutralize the safe return sequence,<br /> potentially leading to data leakage through speculative execution.<br /> <br /> Fixup register state as if the Safe-RET sequence executed successfully<br /> by "emulating" it, in a manner of speaking, and avoid executing a RET<br /> instruction after returning from the interrupt.
