Debian: DSA-5475-1: linux security update
Summary
Daniel Moghimi discovered Gather Data Sampling (GDS), a hardware
vulnerability for Intel CPUs which allows unprivileged speculative
access to data which was previously stored in vector registers.
This mitigation requires updated CPU microcode provided in the
intel-microcode package.

CVE-2023-20569
Daniel Trujillo, Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered
INCEPTION, also known as Speculative Return Stack Overflow (SRSO),
a transient execution attack that leaks arbitrary data on all AMD
Zen CPUs. An attacker can mis-train the CPU BTB to predict non-
architectural CALL instructions in kernel space and use this to
control the speculative target of a subsequent kernel RET,
potentially leading to information disclosure via a speculative
side-channel.
For details please refer to
For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed
in version 5.10.179-5.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in
version 6.1.38-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
