issues with partially successful P2M updates on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 HVM and PVH guests may be started in populate-on-demand PoD mode, to provide a way for them to later easily have more memory assigned. Guests are permitted to control certain P2M aspects of individual pages via hypercalls. These hypercalls may act on ranges of pages specifie...

kernel: powerpc: RTAS calls can be used to compromise kernel integrity

A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked down usually due to Secure Boot guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors pseries platform a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to...

libvirt: Insecure sVirt label generation

A flaw was found in libvirt while it generates SELinux MCS category pairs for VMs' dynamic labels. This flaw allows one exploited guest to access files labeled for another guest, resulting in the breaking out of sVirt confinement. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality a...

Race condition

Another race in XENMAPSPACEgranttable handling Guests are permitted access to certain Xen-owned pages of memory. The majority of such pages remain allocated / associated with a guest for its entire lifetime. Grant table v2 status pages, however, are de-allocated when a guest switches back from v2...

CVE-2021-28699

CVE-2021-28699 affects Xen-based platforms (Citrix Hypervisor and Xen). The issue is an inadequate bounds check in the grant table status path: translation of the grant-status frame numbers can exceed allocated translation space, allowing writes beyond the intended area. Citrix shows this as a ho...
