CVE-2017-15588

CVE-2017-15588 affects the Xen hypervisor. Documented as a race-condition in Xen up to 4.9.x that can cause a stale TLB entry, enabling local x86 PV guest users to execute arbitrary code on the host. Public details describe a host-wards impact via TLB/ paging-structure cache timing, with the vuln...

CVE-2017-15594

CVE-2017-15594 affects the Xen hypervisor up to version 4.9.x. The root cause is mishandling of IDT settings during CPU hotplugging, allowing x86 SVM PV guest OS users to cause a hypervisor crash (DoS) or escalate privileges. Exploitation details and concrete fixes are not provided in the supplie...

Xen - Pagetable De-typing Unbounded Recursion

Xen - Pagetable De-typing Unbounded Recursion Xen allows pagetables of the same level to map each other as readonly in PV domains. This is useful if a guest wants to use the self-referential pagetable trick for easy access to pagetables by mapped virtual address. When cleaning up a pagetable afte...

Xen - Pagetable De-typing Unbounded Recursion

Xen allows pagetables of the same level to map each other as readonly in PV domains. This is useful if a guest wants to use the self-referential pagetable trick for easy access to pagetables by mapped virtual address. When cleaning up a pagetable after the last typed reference to it has been...

Xen - Unbounded Recursion in Pagetable De-typing Vulnerability

Exploit for linux platform in category dos / poc Xen allows pagetables of the same level to map each other as readonly in PV domains. This is useful if a guest wants to use the self-referential pagetable trick for easy access to pagetables by mapped virtual address. When cleaning up a pagetable...

x86: Incorrect handling of self-linear shadow mappings with translated guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The shadow pagetable code uses linear mappings to inspect and modify the shadow pagetables. A linear mapping which points back to itself is known as self-linear. For translated guests, the shadow linear mappings being in a separate address space are not intended to be self-linea...

page type reference leak on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The page type system of Xen requires cleanup when the last reference for a given page is being dropped. In order to exclude simultaneous updates to a given page by multiple parties, pages which are updated are locked beforehand. This locking includes temporarily increasing the...

x86: Incorrect handling of IST settings during CPU hotplug

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The x86-64 architecture allows interrupts to be run on distinct stacks. The choice of stack is encoded in a field of the corresponding interrupt descriptor in the Interrupt Descriptor Table IDT. That field selects an entry from the active Task State Segment TSS. Since, on AMD...

Unlimited recursion in linear pagetable de-typing

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 PV guests are permitted to set up certain forms of what is often called "linear page tables", where pagetables contain references to other pagetables at the same level or higher. Certain restrictions apply in order to fit into Xen's page type handling system. An important...

Security update for xen (important)

This update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed: - CVE-2017-14316: Missing bound check in function allocheappages for an internal array allowed attackers using crafted hypercalls to execute arbitrary code within Xen XSA-231, bsc1056278 - CVE-2017-14318: The function...

Missing NUMA node parameter verification

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The function allocheappages allows callers to specify the first NUMA node that should be used for allocations through the memflags parameter; the node is extracted using the MEMFgetnode macro. While the function checks to see if the special constant NUMANONODE is specified, it...
