x86/AMD: missing IOMMU TLB flushing

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The caching invalidation guidelines from the AMD-Vi specification 48882—Rev 3.07-PUB—Oct 2022 is incorrect on some hardware, as devices will malfunction see stale DMA mappings if some fields of the DTE are updated but the IOMMU TLB is not flushed. Such stale DMA mappings can poi...

SUSE CVE-2012-5634

Xen 4.2.x, 4.1.x, and 4.0, when using Intel VT-d for PCI passthrough, does not properly configure VT-d when supporting a device that is behind a legacy PCI Bridge, which allows local guests to cause a denial of service to other guests by injecting an interrupt...

SUSE CVE-2013-0153

The AMD IOMMU support in Xen 4.2.x, 4.1.x, 3.3, and other versions, when using AMD-Vi for PCI passthrough, uses the same interrupt remapping table for the host and all guests, which allows guests to cause a denial of service by injecting an interrupt into other guests...

SUSE CVE-2013-4329

The xenlight library libxl in Xen 4.0.x through 4.2.x, when IOMMU is disabled, provides access to a busmastering-capable PCI passthrough device before the IOMMU setup is complete, which allows local HVM guest domains to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via a DMA instruction...

SUSE CVE-2019-17341

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by leveraging a page-writability race condition during addition of a passed-through PCI device...

SUSE CVE-2020-29567

An issue was discovered in Xen 4.14.x. When moving IRQs between CPUs to distribute the load of IRQ handling, IRQ vectors are dynamically allocated and de-allocated on the relevant CPUs. De-allocation has to happen when certain constraints are met. If these conditions are not met when first checke...

USN-5617-1: Xen vulnerabilities

It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local attacker could use th...
