pirq range check DoS vulnerability

ISSUE DESCRIPTION domainpirqtoemuirq uses the guest provided pirq value before range checking it, and physdevunmappirq uses domainpirqtoemuirq without checking the pirq value either. Invalid pirq values can cause Xen to read out of array bounds, usually resulting in a fatal page fault. IMPACT A...

Scientific Linux Security Update : xen on SL5.x i386/x86_64 (20120905)

The xen packages contain administration tools and the xend service for managing the kernel-xen kernel for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A flaw was found in the way QEMU handled VT100 terminal escape sequences when emulating certain character devices. A guest user with privileges to...

qemu: VT100 emulation vulnerability

Qemu, as used in Xen 4.0, 4.1 and possibly other products, when emulating certain devices with a virtual console backend, allows local OS guest users to gain privileges via a crafted escape VT100 sequence that triggers the overwrite of a "device model's address space."...

XENMEM_populate_physmap DoS vulnerability

ISSUE DESCRIPTION XENMEMpopulatephysmap can be called with invalid flags. By calling it with MEMFpopulateondemand flag set, a BUG can be triggered if a translating paging mode is not being used. IMPACT A malicious guest kernel can crash the host. VULNERABLE SYSTEMS All Xen systems running PV...

hypercall set_debugreg vulnerability

ISSUE DESCRIPTION setdebugreg allows writes to reserved bits of the DR7 debug control register on x86-64. IMPACT A malicious guest can cause the host to crash, leading to a DoS. If the vulnerable hypervisor is run on future hardware, the impact of the vulnerability might be widened depending on t...

HVM guest destroy p2m teardown host DoS vulnerability

ISSUE DESCRIPTION An HVM guest is able to manipulate its physical address space such that tearing down the guest takes an extended period amount of time searching for shared pages. This causes the domain 0 VCPU which tears down the domain to be blocked in the destroy hypercall. This causes that...

Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64

Security issues : - Using PCI passthrough without interrupt remapping support allowed KVM guests to generate MSI interrupts and thus potentially inject traps. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or possibly escalate their privileges on the host. The fix for this issue ca...
