Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2013-1918 (XSA
45
) several long latency operations are not preemptible.
Some page table manipulation operations for PV guests were not made
preemptible, allowing a malicious or buggy PV guest kernel to mount a
denial of service attack affecting the whole system.
CVE-2013-1952 (XSA
49
) VT-d interrupt remapping source validation flaw for bridges.
Due to missing source validation on interrupt remapping table
entries for MSI interrupts set up by bridge devices, a malicious
domain with access to such a device can mount a denial of service
attack affecting the whole system.
CVE-2013-1964 (XSA
50
) grant table hypercall acquire/release imbalance.
When releasing a particular, non-transitive grant after doing a grant
copy operation, Xen incorrectly releases an unrelated grant
reference, leading possibly to a crash of the host system.
Furthermore information leakage or privilege escalation cannot be
ruled out.
