USN-4467-2 qemu vulnerabilities

USN-4467-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in QEMU. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. Original advisory details: It was discovered that the QEMU SD memory card implementation incorrectly handled certain memory operations. An attacker inside a guest could possibly u...

hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address in an msi-x mmio operation.

Kernel: vfio: access to disabled MMIO space of some devices may lead to DoS scenario

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where it allows userspace processes, for example, a guest VM, to directly access h/w devices via its VFIO driver modules. The VFIO modules allow users to enable or disable access to the devices' MMIO memory address spaces. If a user attempts to access the...

hw: Intel GPU Denial Of Service while accessing MMIO in lower power state

A flaw was found in Intel graphics hardware GPU where a local attacker with the ability to issue an ioctl could trigger a hardware level crash if MMIO registers were read while the graphics card was in a low-power state. This creates a denial of service situation and the GPU and connected display...

DEBIAN-CVE-2017-7995

Xen PV guest before Xen 4.3 checked access permissions to MMIO ranges only after accessing them, allowing host PCI device space memory reads, leading to information disclosure. This is an error in the getuser function. NOTE: the upstream Xen Project considers versions before 4.5.x to be EOL...

DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2270

Xen 4.6.x and earlier allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service host reboot via vectors related to multiple mappings of MMIO pages with different cachability settings...

AZL-6514 CVE-2010-0298 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.10.78.1-1

The x86 emulator in KVM 83 does not use the Current Privilege Level CPL and I/O Privilege Level IOPL in determining the memory access available to CPL3 code, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging access to a 1 IO...

kvm: emulator privilege escalation

The x86 emulator in KVM 83 does not use the Current Privilege Level CPL and I/O Privilege Level IOPL in determining the memory access available to CPL3 code, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service guest OS crash or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging access to a 1 IO...

kernel: open() call allows setgid bit when user is not in new file's group

fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable...
