CVE-2024-53114

Summary

CVE-2024-53114 is a vulnerability affecting certain Zen4 client SoCs in the Linux kernel. These processors inappropriately advertise the ability to use virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE instructions, leading to unintended consequences and potential host reboots. Although these instructions should not be advertised for use on Zen4 client systems, they have been discovered to cause random reboots when invoked. This vulnerability has been addressed in a recent Linux kernel update.
