Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-03-01 14:44:47 CET
Same on a MGA8 x86_64 with Plasma on Core i5 3570K with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 670.
Stable system and all peripherals are OK.

MGA8-64-OK for me

advisory, added tp svn:

type: security
subject: Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities
CVE:
 - CVE-2021-26930
 - CVE-2021-26931
 - CVE-2021-26932

   core:
     - kernel-linus-5.10.19-1.mga8
description: |
  This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.10.19 and fixes atleast
  the following security issues:

  An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used
  by Xen. To service requests to the PV backend, the driver maps grant
  references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be
  encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be
  discarded by later processing, resulting in the caller assuming
  successful mapping, and hence subsequent operations trying to access
  space that wasn't mapped. In another case, internal state would be
  insufficiently updated, preventing safe recovery from the error
  (CVE-2021-26930).

  An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 2.6.39 through 5.10.16, as
  used in Xen. Block, net, and SCSI backends consider certain errors a
  plain bug, deliberately causing a kernel crash. For errors potentially
  being at least under the influence of guests (such as out of memory
  conditions), it isn't correct to assume a plain bug. Memory allocations
  potentially causing such crashes occur only when Linux is running in
  PV mode, though (CVE-2021-26931).

  An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.2 through 5.10.16, as used
  by Xen. Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where
  a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or
  failure of each one is reported to the backend driver, and the backend
  driver then loops over the results, performing follow-up actions based
  on the success or failure of each operation. Unfortunately, when running
  in PV mode, the Linux backend drivers mishandle this: Some errors are
  ignored, effectively implying their success from the success of related
  batch elements. In other cases, errors resulting from one batch element
  lead to further batch elements not being inspected, and hence successful
  ones to not be possible to properly unmap upon error recovery. Only
  systems with Linux backends running in PV mode are vulnerable. Linux
  backends run in HVM / PVH modes are not vulnerable (CVE-2021-26932).

  It also adds the following fixes:
  - enable ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS (mga#28415)

  For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.
