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...

kernel: kvm: noncanonical rip after emulation

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled non-canonical addresses when emulating instructions that change the RIP for example, branches or calls. A guest user with access to an I/O or MMIO region could use this flaw to crash the guest...

USN-2777-1: Linux kernel (Utopic HWE) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that virtio networking in the Linux kernel did not handle fragments correctly, leading to kernel memory corruption. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute code with administrative privileges. CVE-2015-5156 Benjamin Randazzo...

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Linux kernel (Utopic HWE) vulnerabilities (USN-2777-1)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2777-1 advisory. It was discovered that virtio networking in the Linux kernel did not handle fragments correctly, leading to kernel memory corruption. A remote attacker...

xen: Insufficient bounding of "REP MOVS" to MMIO emulated inside the hypervisor (xsa112)

An insufficient bound checking flaw was found in the Xen hypervisor's implementation of acceleration support for the "REP MOVS" instructions. A privileged HVM guest user could potentially use this flaw to crash the host...
