The erratum is also present on microcode patch id 0x6000836. + THIS IS A CRITICAL STABILITY AND SECURITY UPDATE FOR THE EARLIER AMD PILEDRIVER PROCESSORS, including: + AMD Opteron 3300, 4300, 6300 + AMD FX "Vishera" (43xx, 63xx, 83xx, 93xx, 95xx) + AMD processors with family 21, model 2, stepping 0 * Robert Święcki, while fuzzing the kernel using the syzkaller tool, uncovered very strange behavior on an AMD FX-8320, later reproduced on other AMD Piledriver model 2, stepping 0 processors including the Opteron 6300. Robert discovered, using his proof-of-concept exploit code, that the incorrect behavior allows an unpriviledged attacker on an unpriviledged VM to corrupt the return stack of the host kernel's NMI handler. At best, this results in unpredictable host behavior. At worst, it allows for an unpriviledged user on unpriviledged VM to carry a sucessful host-kernel ring 0 code injection attack. * The erratum is timing-dependant, easily triggered by workloads that cause a high number of NMIs, such as running the "perf" tool.
