Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

Guests running on Arm can cause Denial of Service DoS attacks on Dom0 through PV devices. When mapping memory pages of guests on Arm, Dom0 uses an rbtree to keep track of the foreign mappings. The update of this rbtree does not always occur completely with the relevant lock held, resulting in a...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through version 5.10.1, as used with Xen up to version 4.14.x. The Linux kernel’s PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring-xenblkd to NULL when the thread is stopped. However, the handler may not have enough time to execute if the...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. The Linux kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring-xenblkd to NULL when stopped. However, the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggles between the...

Guest triggered use-after-free in Linux xen-netback

ISSUE DESCRIPTION A malicious or buggy network PV frontend can force Linux netback to disable the interface and terminate the receive kernel thread associated with queue 0 in response to the frontend sending a malformed packet. Such kernel thread termination will lead to a use-after-free in Linux...
