CVE-2014-8594

The dommuupdate function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen 4.x through 4.4.x does not properly restrict updates to only PV page tables, which allows remote PV guests to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guests using Hardware Assisted Paging...

Null pointer dereference

The dommuupdate function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen 4.x through 4.4.x does not properly restrict updates to only PV page tables, which allows remote PV guests to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guests using Hardware Assisted Paging...

CVE-2014-8595

arch/x86/x86emulate/x86emulate.c in Xen 3.2.1 through 4.4.x does not properly check privileges, which allows local HVM guest users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service crash via a crafted 1 CALL, 2 JMP, 3 RETF, 4 LCALL, 5 LJMP, or 6 LRET far branch instruction...

CVE-2014-8594

CVE-2014-8594 affects Xen 4.x up to 4.4.x (Xen hypervisor) where do_mmu_update in arch/x86/mm.c does not properly restrict updates to PV page tables. This enables remote PV guests to trigger a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guest...

Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far branches

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The emulation of far branch instructions CALL, JMP, and RETF in Intel assembly syntax, LCALL, LJMP, and LRET in AT&T assembly syntax incompletely performs privilege checks. However these instructions are not usually handled by the emulator. Exceptions to this are - when a memory...

Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls

ISSUE DESCRIPTION MMU update operations targeting page tables are intended to be used on PV guests only. The lack of a respective check made it possible for such operations to access certain function pointers which remain NULL when the target guest is using Hardware Assisted Paging HAP. IMPACT...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-7188

The hvmmsrreadintercept function in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in Xen 4.1 through 4.4.x uses an improper MSR range for x2APIC emulation, which allows local HVM guests to cause a denial of service host crash or read data from the hypervisor or other guests via unspecified vectors...

CVE-2014-7156

The x86emulate function in arch/x86/x86emulate/x86emulate.c in Xen 3.3.x through 4.4.x does not check the supervisor mode permissions for instructions that generate software interrupts, which allows local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service guest crash via unspecified vectors...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-7155

The x86emulate function in arch/x86/x86emulate/x86emulate.c in Xen 4.4.x and earlier does not properly check supervisor mode permissions, which allows local HVM users to cause a denial of service guest crash or gain guest kernel mode privileges via vectors involving an 1 HLT, 2 LGDT, 3 LIDT, or 4...

Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of software interrupts

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The emulation of instructions which generate software interrupts fails to perform supervisor mode permission checks. However these instructions are not usually handled by the emulator. Exceptions to this are - when a memory operand implicit for the affected instructions lives in...

Race condition in HVMOP_track_dirty_vram

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The routine controlling the setup of dirty video RAM tracking latches the value of a pointer before taking the respective guarding lock, thus making it possible for a stale pointer to be used by the time the lock got acquired and the pointer gets dereferenced. The hypercall...
