Linux ioperm bitmap context switching issues

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Linux 5.5 overhauled the internal state handling for the iopl and ioperm system calls. Unfortunately, one aspect on context switch wasn't wired up correctly for the Xen PVOps case. IMPACT IO port permissions don't get rescinded when context switching to an unprivileged task...

CVE-2020-12446

The ene.sys driver in G.SKILL Trident Z Lighting Control through 1.00.08 exposes mapping and un-mapping of physical memory, reading and writing to Model Specific Register MSR registers, and input from and output to I/O ports to local non-privileged users. This leads to privilege escalation to NT...

CVE-2020-9756

Patriot Viper RGB Driver 1.1 and prior exposes IOCTL and allows insufficient access control. The IOCTL Codes 0x80102050 and 0x80102054 allows a local user with low privileges to read/write 1/2/4 bytes from or to an IO port. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run code with...

CVE-2020-9756

CVE-2020-9756 concerns Patriot Viper RGB Driver (v1.1 and earlier) exposing IOCTL with insufficient access control. IOCTL codes 0x80102050 (read) and 0x80102054 (write) enable a local, low-privileged user to read/write 1/2/4 bytes to an IO port, potentially enabling code execution with elevated p...

TSX Asynchronous Abort speculative side channel

ISSUE DESCRIPTION This is very closely related to the Microarchitectural Data Sampling vulnerabilities from May 2019. Please see https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-297.html for details about MDS. A new way to sample data from microarchitectural structures has been identified. A TSX Asynchronous...

Kernel: KVM: DoS via write flood to I/O port 0x80

Linux kernel Virtualization Module CONFIGKVM for the Intel processor family CONFIGKVMINTEL is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS...

CVE-2018-18536

The GLCKIo and Asusgio low-level drivers in ASUS Aura Sync v1.07.22 and earlier expose functionality to read/write data from/to IO ports. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run code with elevated privileges...

CVE-2018-19322

The GPCIDrv and GDrv low-level drivers in GIGABYTE APP Center v1.05.21 and earlier, AORUS GRAPHICS ENGINE before 1.57, XTREME GAMING ENGINE before 1.26, and OC GURU II v2.08 expose functionality to read/write data from/to IO ports. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run cod...

CVE-2018-10712

The AsrDrv101.sys and AsrDrv102.sys low-level drivers in ASRock RGBLED before v1.0.35.1, A-Tuning before v3.0.210, F-Stream before v3.0.210, and RestartToUEFI before v1.0.6.2 expose functionality to read/write data from/to IO ports. This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run co...

qemu: incorrect banked access bounds checking in vga module

An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions VBE support performed read/write operations using I/O port methods. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU...

kernel: kvm: reporting emulation failures to userspace

It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local CVE-2014-7842 or a L2-L1 CVE-2010-5313 denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. Please note that on certain...

DEBIAN-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...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-1922

QEMU aka Quick Emulator built with the TPR optimization for 32-bit Windows guests support is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference flaw. It occurs while doing I/O port write operations via hmp interface. In that, 'currentcpu' remains null, which leads to the null pointer dereference. A user or...

Design/Logic Flaw

The x86 emulator in KVM 83, when a guest is configured for Symmetric Multiprocessing SMP, does not properly restrict writing of segment selectors to segment registers, which might allow guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging...
