Summary

Linux kernel versions from 6.15 are affected by this flaw, and fixes are available in 6.18.57, 7.2.11 and 7.3. On some AMD processors, a TLB entry may not be invalidated while an INVLPGB/TLBSYNC instruction pair runs, leaving stale address translations in use. A local user with low privileges can affect confidentiality, integrity and availability, and the kernel applies a software workaround when no microcode fix is present.
