CVE-2019-15031

Description

In the Linux kernel through 5.2.14 on the powerpc platform, a local user can read vector registers of other users\' processes via an interrupt. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process, because MSR_TM_ACTIVE is misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c.
