Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Type Confusion

EUVDB-ID: #VU65219

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23816

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a branch type confusion. A local user can force the branch predictor to predict the wrong branch type and gain access to sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
