Kernel: kvm: OOB memory write via kvm_dev_ioctl_get_cpuid
An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVMGETEMULATEDCPUID' ioctl2 request to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system, resulti...
Kernel: kvm: nVMX: L2 guest may trick the L0 hypervisor to access sensitive L1 resources
A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for the L2 guest when nested=1 virtualization is enabled. In the instruction emulation, the L2 guest could trick the L0 hypervisor into accessing sensitive bits of the L1 hypervisor. An L2 guest could use this flaw to...
Kernel: ppc: kvm: conflicting use of HSTATE_HOST_R1 to store r1 state leads to host stack corruption
A flaw was found in the way the KVM hypervisor on the Power8 processor stores the r1 register state in the 'HSTATEHOSTR1' field on the Linux kernel stack. This flaw occurs while handling hypercalls in Transactional Memory TM suspend mode in the kvmppcsavetm and kvmppcrestoretm routines, leading t...
The vulnerability of the HSTATE_HOST_R1 component of the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) virtualization subsystem in Linux operating systems allows a attacker to cause a service failure.
The vulnerability of the HSTATEHOSTR1 component of the Linux Kernel-Based Virtual Machine KVM virtualization subsystem arises due to synchronization errors when using shared resources. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause a service failure...
Kernel: KVM: export MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL to guest - incomplete fix for TAA (CVE-2019-11135)
A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort TAA error occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw TAANO=0, but is not affected by the MDS issue MDSNO=1, the guest was to...
Linux kernel KVM Competitive Conditions Issue Vulnerability
Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the KVM's of the Linux kernel for PowerPC processors, which stems from the program's failure to properly separate the state of the...

USN-4303-2 linux-lts-xenial, linux-aws vulnerability
USN-4303-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement HWE kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel...
UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3016
In a Linux KVM guest that has PV TLB enabled, a process in the guest kernel may be able to read memory locations from another process in the same guest. This problem is limit to the host running linux kernel 4.10 with a guest running linux kernel 4.16 or later. The problem mainly affects AMD...
kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel write
A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor emulated instructions such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilegeCPL level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside...
DEBIAN-CVE-2019-19332
An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVMGETEMULATEDCPUID' ioctl2 request to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device...
kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel write

Kernel: KVM: OOB memory access via mmio ring buffer
An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvmcoalescedmmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring-first' and 'ring-last' value could be supplied by a host user-space...
Kernel: KVM: potential use-after-free via kvm_ioctl_create_device()
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements its device control API. While creating a device via kvmioctlcreatedevice, the device holds a reference to a VM object, later this reference is transferred to the caller's file descriptor table. If suc...
USN-4185-3 linux, linux-hwe, linux-oem vulnerability and regression
USN-4185-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. It was discovered that the kernel fix for CVE-2019-0155 i915 missing Blitter Command Streamer check was incomplete on 64-bit Intel x86 systems. Also, the update introduced a regression that broke KVM guests where extended page tables EPT are...
Kernel: KVM: leak of uninitialized stack contents to guest
An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the returned exception object hold...

kernel: vhost-net: guest to host kernel escape during migration
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could use this fla...
