Unlimited recursion in linear pagetable de-typing

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 PV guests are permitted to set up certain forms of what is often called "linear page tables", where pagetables contain references to other pagetables at the same level or higher. Certain restrictions apply in order to fit into Xen's page type handling system. An important...

multiple MSI mapping issues on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Multiple issues exist with the setup of PCI MSI interrupts: - unprivileged guests were permitted access to devices not owned by them, in particular allowing them to disable MSI or MSI-X on any device - HVM guests can trigger a codepath intended only for PV guests - some failure...

page type reference leak on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The page type system of Xen requires cleanup when the last reference for a given page is being dropped. In order to exclude simultaneous updates to a given page by multiple parties, pages which are updated are locked beforehand. This locking includes temporarily increasing the...

x86: Incorrect handling of self-linear shadow mappings with translated guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The shadow pagetable code uses linear mappings to inspect and modify the shadow pagetables. A linear mapping which points back to itself is known as self-linear. For translated guests, the shadow linear mappings being in a separate address space are not intended to be self-linea...

cxenstored: Race in domain cleanup

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When shutting down a VM with a stubdomain, a race in cxenstored may cause a double-free. IMPACT The xenstored daemon may crash, resulting in a DoS of any parts of the system relying on it including domain creation / destruction, ballooning, device changes, etc. VULNERABLE SYSTEM...

Missing NUMA node parameter verification

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The function allocheappages allows callers to specify the first NUMA node that should be used for allocations through the memflags parameter; the node is extracted using the MEMFgetnode macro. While the function checks to see if the special constant NUMANONODE is specified, it...

Missing check for grant table

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The function gnttabcacheflush handles GNTTABOPcacheflush grant table operations. It checks to see if the calling domain is the owner of the page that is to be operated on. If it is not, the owner's grant table is checked to see if a grant mapping to the calling domain exists for...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12134

The xenbiovecphysmergeable function in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability...

ALPINE-CVE-2017-12135

Xen allows local OS guest users to cause a denial of service crash or possibly obtain sensitive information or gain privileges via vectors involving transitive grants...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12136

Race condition in the grant table code in Xen 4.6.x through 4.9.x allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service free list corruption and host crash or gain privileges on the host via vectors involving maptrack free list handling...

x86: PV privilege escalation via map_grant_ref

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When mapping a grant reference, a guest must inform Xen of where it would like the grant mapped. For PV guests, this is done by nominating an existing linear address, or an L1 pagetable entry, to be altered. Neither of these PV paths check for alignment of the passed parameter...
