CVE-2015-4105

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x enables logging for PCI MSI-X pass-through error messages, which allows local x86 HVM guests to cause a denial of service host disk consumption via certain invalid operations...

CVE-2015-4104

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x does not properly restrict access to PCI MSI mask bits, which allows local x86 HVM guest users to cause a denial of service unexpected interrupt and host crash via unspecified vectors...

xen-tools -- Guest triggerable qemu MSI-X pass-through error messages

The Xen Project reports: Device model code dealing with guest PCI MSI-X interrupt management activities logs messages on certain supposedly invalid guest operations. A buggy or malicious guest repeatedly invoking such operations may result in the host disk to fill up, possibly leading to a Denial...

xen-tools -- PCI MSI mask bits inadvertently exposed to guests

The Xen Project reports: The mask bits optionally available in the PCI MSI capability structure are used by the hypervisor to occasionally suppress interrupt delivery. Unprivileged guests were, however, nevertheless allowed direct control of these bits. Interrupts may be observed by Xen at...
