MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A flaw named "EntryBleed" exists in the Linux kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI). It could allow a local attacker to leak the KASLR base via prefetch side-channels based on TLB timing on Intel systems.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can bypass kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR), facilitating further kernel exploitation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a patched version and consider restricting unprivileged access to TLB timing features.
