Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2024-45005 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-coco to version 6.4.0-15061.6.coco15sp6.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-coco package and not the kernel-coco package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: fix validity interception issue when gisa is switched off
We might run into a SIE validity if gisa has been disabled either via using kernel parameter "kvm.use_gisa=0" or by setting the related sysfs attribute to N (echo N >/sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa).
The validity is caused by an invalid value in the SIE control block's gisa designation. That happens because we pass the uninitialized gisa origin to virt_to_phys() before writing it to the gisa designation.
To fix this we return 0 in kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() if the origin is 0. kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() is used to determine which gisa designation to set in the SIE control block. A value of 0 in the gisa designation disables gisa usage.
The issue surfaces in the host kernel with the following kernel message as soon a new kvm guest start is attemted.
