Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. On systems running affected AMD processors without microcode fixes, the processor may fail to properly clear cached entries in the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB), a hardware cache used to speed up memory address translation, during flush operations. A local user could exploit this condition to cause stale address mappings to persist, potentially leading to memory corruption, denial of service, or unauthorized information disclosure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/CPU/AMD: Fix AMD TLBI Erratum #1718

The processor may fail to invalidate a TLB entry while executing an
INVLPGB/TLBSYNC instruction pair.

Detect the erratum and apply a software workaround when a microcode fix
is not present.
