The Linux kernel for powerpc has an issue with the Run-Time Abstraction
Services (RTAS) interface, allowing root (or CAP_SYS_ADMIN users) in a
VM to overwrite some parts of memory, including kernel memory.
This issue impacts guests running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors
(pseries platform), and does *not* impact bare-metal machines (powernv
platform).
CVE-2020-27777 has been assigned.
