Denial Of Service (DoS)

xen is vulnerable to Denial Of Service DoS. The vulnerability exists due to incorrect caching invalidation guidelines in the AMD-Vi specification 48882—Rev 3.07-PUB—Oct 2022 on certain hardware. Updating specific fields of the DTE without flushing the IOMMU TLB can lead to device malfunctions e.g...

CVE-2023-6238

CVE-2023-6238 affects the Linux kernel NVMe driver. A buffer overflow allows a privileged user to provide a small meta buffer and trigger a larger DMA into that same buffer, overwriting unrelated kernel memory and causing random kernel crashes/memory corruption. The vulnerability is locally explo...

The vulnerability of the ide_dma_cb() function in the QEMU hardware emulation software allows a attacker to gain access to read, modify, or delete data, or to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the idedmacb function in the QEMU hardware emulation software is related to synchronization errors when processing the DRQSTAT parameter. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to gain access to read, modify, or delete data, or cause a service failure...

QEMU: hcd-ehci: DMA reentrancy issue leads to use-after-free

A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions such as reset whi...

kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service in vmwgfx due to invalid DMA surface copies

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s DRM vmwgfx driver related to how cursor images are snooped and copied. When the dimensions of a DMA surface copybox were derived from untrusted userspace data without proper validation against the expected snooped cursor size, an invalid size could caus...

kernel: dmaengine: ptdma: check for null desc before calling pt_cmd_callback

AMD PTDMA Pass-Through DMA engine crashes the kernel when ptissuepending encounters empty descriptor queues. The function blindly invokes ptcmdcallback without verifying that a valid descriptor exists, triggering a NULL pointer dereference. This commonly surfaces during system shutdown on AMD...
