CVE-2023-34322 top-level shadow reference dropped too early for 64-bit PV guests

For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF see XSA-273, PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. Since Xen itself needs to be mapped when PV guests run, Xen and shadowed PV guests run directly the respective shadow page tables. For 64-bit PV guests this means running on th...

This update for xen fixes the following issues: - CVE-2023-20588: Fixed AMD CPU transitional execution leak via division by zero XSA-439 bsc1215474. - CVE-2023-34322: Fixed top-level shadow reference dropped too early for 64-bit PV guests XSA-438 bsc1215145. - CVE-2023-20593: Fixed AMD Zenbleed...

x86 shadow: Insufficient TLB flushing when using PCID

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Use of Process Context Identifiers PCID was introduced into Xen in order to improve performance after XSA-254 and in particular its Meltdown sub-issue. This enablement implied changes to the TLB flushing logic. One aspect which was overlooked is the safety of switching between...

Xen Project INVPCID with Non-Canonical Addresses DoS (XSA-279)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a guest-to-host denial of service vulnerability. An attacker located on a guest virtual machine may be able to exploit this vulnerability to affect the availability of the host system. On...

Code injection

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x allowing 64-bit PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash because GP0 can occur after a non-canonical address is passed to the TLB flushing code. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect CVE-2017-5754 aka Meltdown mitigation...

CVE-2018-19965

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x allowing 64-bit PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash because GP0 can occur after a non-canonical address is passed to the TLB flushing code. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect CVE-2017-5754 aka Meltdown mitigation...

x86: DoS from attempting to use INVPCID with a non-canonical addresses

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The INVPCID instruction raises GP0 if an attempt is made to invalidate a non-canonical address. Older flushing mechanisms such as INVLPG tolerate this without error, and perform no action. There is one guest accessible path in Xen where a non-canonical address was passed into th...

Debian DLA-964-1 : xen security update

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : CVE-2016-9932 XSA-200 CMPXCHG8B emulation allows local HVM guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host stack memory. CVE-2017-7995...

USN-2997-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities

Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use the mmap handler of a lower filesystem that did not implement one, causing a recursive page fault to occur. A local unprivileged attacker could use to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with...

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : linux vulnerabilities (USN-2996-1)

Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use the mmap handler of a lower filesystem that did not implement one, causing a recursive page fault to occur. A local unprivileged attacker could use to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with...

Design/Logic Flaw

The switchto function in arch/x86/kernel/process64.c in the Linux kernel does not properly context-switch IOPL on 64-bit PV Xen guests, which allows local guest OS users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service guest OS crash, or obtain sensitive information by leveraging I/O port access...

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: When running as a Xen 64-bit PV guest, user mode processes not supposed to be able to access I/O ports may be granted such permission, potentially resulting in one or more of in-guest privilege escalation, guest crashes Denial of Service, or in-guest information leaks. CVE-2016-31...

CVE-2013-4368

The outs instruction emulation in Xen 3.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, and earlier, when using FS: or GS: segment override, uses an uninitialized variable as a segment base, which allows local 64-bit PV guests to obtain sensitive information hypervisor stack content via unspecified vectors related to stale...

Information leak through outs instruction emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The emulation of the outs instruction for 64-bit PV guests uses an uninitialized variable as the segment base for the source data if an FS: or GS: segment override is used, and if the segment descriptor the respective non-null selector in the corresponding selector register poin...

CVE-2013-4356

Xen 4.3.x writes hypervisor mappings to certain shadow pagetables when live migration is performed on hosts with more than 5TB of RAM, which allows local 64-bit PV guests to read or write to invalid memory and cause a denial of service crash...
