virt: VT-d (PCI passthrough) MSI trap injection

Xen 4.1 before 4.1.1 and 4.0 before 4.0.2, when using PCI passthrough on Intel VT-d chipsets that do not have interrupt remapping, allows guest OS users to gain host OS privileges by "using DMA to generate MSI interrupts by writing to the interrupt injection registers."...

VT-d (PCI passthrough) MSI trap injection

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Intel VT-d chipsets without interrupt remapping do not prevent a guest which owns a PCI device from using DMA to generate MSI interrupts by writing to the interrupt injection registers. This can be exploited to inject traps and gain control of the host. VULNERABLE SYSTEMS You ar...
