CVE-2020-15563

CVE-2020-15563 – Xen inverted code path DoS (XSA-319) Affected: Xen hypervisor (versions 4.8 and newer; 4.7 and older are not affected). Only x86 HVM guests using shadow paging are vulnerable; x86 PV guests and HAP-backed guests are not. The issue arises from an inverted conditional in x86 HVM gu...

non-atomic modification of live EPT PTE

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When mapping guest EPT nested paging tables, Xen would in some circumstances use a series of non-atomic bitfield writes. Depending on the compiler version and optimisation flags, Xen might expose a dangerous partially-written PTE to the hardware, which an attacker might be able ...

insufficient cache write-back under VT-d

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, changes to them require flushing of both TLBs. Furthermore, IOMMUs may be non-coherent, and hence prior to flushing IOMMU TLBs CPU cached also needs writing back to memory after changes were made. Such writing back of cached dat...

inverted code paths in x86 dirty VRAM tracking

ISSUE DESCRIPTION An inverted conditional in x86 HVM guests' dirty video RAM tracking code allows such guests to make Xen de-reference a pointer guaranteed to point at unmapped space. IMPACT A malicious or buggy HVM guest may cause the hypervisor to crash, resulting in Denial of Service DoS...
