InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
AMD has released a security bulletin about three possible vulnerabilities in its Secure Encrypted Virtualization – Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) technology.
A researcher found vulnerabilities that could let a malicious hypervisor controlled by the host system access or modify the memory of a guest VM. This poses big risks to data security. The vulnerabilities are known as CVE-2024-21978, CVE-2024-21980, and CVE-2023-31355, with two rated as medium severity and one as high.

SEV-SNP is a security feature for virtual machines that encrypts their memory to protect them from malicious attacks. However, vulnerabilities have been found in this feature due to issues with input validation and write operation restrictions in the firmware. These vulnerabilities could potentially allow a malicious hypervisor to access or corrupt a guest VM’s memory.
SEV-SNP firmware has a flaw that could let a malicious hypervisor overwrite a guest’s UMC seed, potentially allowing access to memory from a decommissioned guest.
These vulnerabilities are very important because they allow attackers to steal sensitive data, control VM operations, or even cause a denial of service. The affected products are AMD’s 3rd Gen EPYC Processors (Milan) and 4th Gen EPYC Processors (Genoa), which are commonly used in data centers and embedded systems.
To reduce the risks, AMD suggests that users update their systems with the latest Platform Initialization (PI) firmware versions mentioned in the advisory. In certain cases, there may be other options available for reducing the risks, like microcode or other patches.
