Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-23816
DESCRIPTION: Xen could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a Branch Type Confusion vulnerability due to the Intel and AMD processors it utilizes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to leak information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same ESXi host.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230961 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-23825
DESCRIPTION: Xen could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a Branch Type Confusion vulnerability due to the Intel and AMD processors it utilizes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to leak information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same ESXi host.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230962 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-2588
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the cls_route filter implementation. By executing a specially-crafted program, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/233085 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-26373
DESCRIPTION: VMware ESXi could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a return-stack-buffer-underflow in the Intel and AMD processors that it utilizes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exploit various side-channel CPU flaws, obtain sensitive information from physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same ESXi host, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/233046 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-29900
DESCRIPTION: Xen could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a Branch Type Confusion vulnerability due to the Intel and AMD processors it utilizes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to leak information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same ESXi host.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230963 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-29901
DESCRIPTION: Intel Processors could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the non-transparent sharing of branch predictor targets between contexts attacks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 4.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230960 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-42898
DESCRIPTION: MIT krb5 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow in PAC parsing in the krb5_parse_pac() function. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a KDC or kadmind process to crash.
CVSS Base score: 6.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/240238 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
