Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions through 4.13.5 Description: The issue arises when nested virtualisation is used, and the Linux kernel does not properly traverse guest pagetable entries to resolve a guest virtual address. This allows L1 guest OS users t...

Kernel: kvm: nVMX: uncaught software exceptions in L1 guest leads to DoS

Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support CONFIGKVM, with nested visualizationnVMX feature enablednested=1, is vulnerable to an uncaught exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to throw an exception which is not handled by an L1 guest...

Linux Kernel Denial of Service Vulnerability (CNVD-2017-01335)

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the operating system Linux, released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the nestedvmxcheckvmptr function in the arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c file in Linux kernel 4.9.8 and earlier. An attacker on the virtual machine side...

Xen 'paging_invlpg' function denial of service vulnerability

Xen is an open source virtual machine monitor product developed by the University of Cambridge, UK. The product enables different and incompatible operating systems to run on the same computer and supports runtime migration to ensure uptime and avoid downtime. A security vulnerability exists in t...

CVE-2016-1571

The paginginvlpg function in include/asm-x86/paging.h in Xen 3.3.x through 4.6.x, when using shadow mode paging or nested virtualization is enabled, allows local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service host crash via a non-canonical guest address in an INVVPID instruction, which triggers a...

CVE-2016-1571

CVE-2016-1571 affects Xen 3.3.x–4.6.x. When shadow paging or nested virtualization is enabled, a local HVM guest can trigger the hypervisor bug check via a non-canonical guest address in an INVVPID instruction, causing a host crash (DoS). The description does not specify a vendor patch or fixed v...

VMX: intercept issue with INVLPG on non-canonical address

ISSUE DESCRIPTION While INVLPG does not cause a General Protection Fault when used on a non-canonical address, INVVPID in its "individual address" variant, which is used to back the intercepted INVLPG in certain cases, fails in such cases. Failure of INVVPID results in a hypervisor bug check...
