CVE-2016-3961: Improper Input Validation

Xen and the Linux kernel through 4.5.x do not properly suppress hugetlbfs support in x86 PV guests, which allows local PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash by attempting to access a hugetlbfs mapped area...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8550

Xen, when used on a system providing PV backends, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service host OS crash or gain privileges by writing to memory shared between the frontend and backend, aka a double fetch vulnerability...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8554

Buffer overflow in hw/pt-msi.c in Xen 4.6.x and earlier, when using the qemu-xen-traditional aka qemu-dm device model, allows local x86 HVM guest administrators to gain privileges by leveraging a system with access to a passed-through MSI-X capable physical PCI device and MSI-X table entries,...

hugetlbfs use may crash PV Linux guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Huge 2Mb pages are generally unavailable to PV guests. Since x86 Linux pvops-based kernels are generally multi purpose, they would normally be built with hugetlbfs support enabled. Use of that functionality by an application in a PV guest would cause an infinite page fault loop,...

CVE-2016-3157

The switchto function in arch/x86/kernel/process64.c in the Linux kernel does not properly context-switch IOPL on 64-bit PV Xen guests, which allows local guest OS users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service guest OS crash, or obtain sensitive information by leveraging I/O port access...

Design/Logic Flaw

The switchto function in arch/x86/kernel/process64.c in the Linux kernel does not properly context-switch IOPL on 64-bit PV Xen guests, which allows local guest OS users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service guest OS crash, or obtain sensitive information by leveraging I/O port access...

CVE-2016-3157

CVE-2016-3157 : The Linux kernel’s 64-bit PV Xen path__switch_to__ in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c fails to context-switch IOPL properly, enabling local guest users to escalate privileges, cause a guest-OS DoS, or leak data via I/O ports. Public details in connected Nessus/Unity advisories (UTSA-...

I/O port access privilege escalation in x86-64 Linux

ISSUE DESCRIPTION IRET and POPF do not modify EFLAGS.IOPL when executed by code at a privilege level other than zero. Since PV Xen guests run at privilege level 3 for 64-bit ones; 32-bit ones run at privilege level 1, to compensate for this the context switching of EFLAGS.IOPL requires the guest ...

Xen Denial of Service Vulnerability (CNVD-2016-01330)

Xen is a virtualization technology developed by the University of Cambridge that can be used in the Linux kernel, allowing multiple operating systems to run simultaneously. A denial of service vulnerability exists in versions prior to Xen 4.6.x that allows HVM guest users to cause a denial of...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2270

Xen 4.6.x and earlier allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service host reboot via vectors related to multiple mappings of MMIO pages with different cachability settings...
