A possible unauthorized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cpu_entry_area mapping of X86 CPU data to memory, where a user may guess the location of exception stacks or other important data. Based on the previous CVE-2023-0597, the 'Randomize per-cpu entry area' feature was implemented in /arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c, which works through the init_cea_offsets() function when KASLR is enabled. However, despite this feature, there is still a risk of per-cpu entry area leaks. This issue could allow a local user to gain access to some important data with memory in an expected location and potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux
kernel contained a null pointer dereference in some situations. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2022-4842)
Seth Jenkins discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly perform
address randomization for a per-cpu memory management structure. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive in

A possible unauthorized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cpu_entry_area mapping of X86 CPU data to memory, where a user may guess the location of exception stacks or other important data. Based on the previous CVE-2023-0597, the 'Randomize per-cpu entry area' feature was implemented in /arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c, which works through the init_cea_offsets() function when KASLR is enabled. However, despite this feature, there is still a risk of per-cpu entry area leaks. This issue could allow a local user to gain access to some important data with memory in an expected l

CVE-2023-3640 Kernel: x86/mm: a per-cpu entry area leak was identified through the init_cea_offsets function when prefetchnta and prefetcht2 instructions being used for the per-cpu entry area mapping to the user space
A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. First, based on the previous similar CVE-2023-0597, the 'Randomize per-cpu entry area' feature was implemented in /arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c, which works through the init_cea_offsets() function when KASLR is enabled.
However, despite this feature, there is still a risk of per-cpu entry area leaks.
In systems with KPTI enabled, only a minimal amount of kernel virtual memory is mapped for users, such as exception/system call entry handlers and any other necessary content for user-to-kernel transitions. However, discovered that the per-cpu e

CVE-2023-0597 kernel: x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area
A flaw possibility of memory leak in the Linux Kernel found.
There is no randomization of the exception stacks happening at all including boot-time randomization. These exception
stacks are mapped into the kernel at the same virtual address every time.
The exception stack(s) is a particularly easy target because its location can be computed based solely on CPU index and kernel version.
For the CPU-entry-area, the piece of per-cpu data that is mapped into the userspace page-tables for KPTI is not subject to any randomization (irrespective of KASLR settings). The KASLR-style randomization isn't enough, because attacker probably could discover even the task stacks at least on X86 systems without KPTI with something like the prefetch
