Benedict Schlüter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP.

This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - TTY drivers; - SMB network file system; - Netfilter; - Bluetooth subsystem; (CVE-2024-26886, CVE-2023-52752, CVE-2024-36016, CVE-2024-26952, CVE-2024-27017)
