CVE-2020-29569

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...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1 as used with Xen through 4.14.x. drivers/xen/events/events_base.c allows event-channel removal during the event-handling loop (a race condition). This can cause a use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference as demonstrated by a dom0 crash via events for an in-reconfiguration paravirtualized device aka CID-073d0552ead5.

Rogue guests can cause DoS of Dom0 via high frequency events

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The handling of Xen events in the Linux kernel runs with interrupts disabled in a loop until no further event is pending. Whenever an event has been accepted by the kernel, another event can come in via the same event channel. This can result in the event handling loop running f...

Race condition in Linux event handler may crash dom0

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The Linux kernel event channel handling code doesn't defend the handling of an event against the same event channel being removed in parallel. This can result in accesses to already freed memory areas or NULL pointer dereferences in the event handling code, leading to misbehavio...
