CVE-2014-1642

The IRQ setup in Xen 4.2.x and 4.3.x, when using device passthrough and configured to support a large number of CPUs, frees certain memory that may still be intended for use, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service memory corruption and hypervisor crash and possibly...

Double free

The IRQ setup in Xen 4.2.x and 4.3.x, when using device passthrough and configured to support a large number of CPUs, frees certain memory that may still be intended for use, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service memory corruption and hypervisor crash and possibly...

Out-of-memory condition yielding memory corruption during IRQ setup

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When setting up the IRQ for a passed through physical device, a flaw in the error handling could result in a memory allocation being used after it is freed, and then freed a second time. This would typically result in memory corruption. IMPACT Malicious guest administrators can...

Several access permission issues with IRQs for unprivileged guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Various IRQ related access control operations may not have the intended effect, thus potentially permitting a stub domain to grant its client domain access to an IRQ it doesn't have access to itself. IMPACT Malicious or buggy stub domains kernels can mount a denial of service...
