Official Description
Insufficient checks of the RMP on host buffer access in IOMMU may allow an attacker with privileges and a compromised hypervisor to trigger an out of bounds condition without RMP checks, resulting in a potential loss of confidential guest integrity.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-20585 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
