FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- x86: Privilege escalation in PV guests (032aa524-5854-11e6-b334-002590263bf5) (Bunker Buster)

The Xen Project reports : The PV pagetable code has fast-paths for making updates to pre-existing pagetable entries, to skip expensive re-validation in safe cases e.g. clearing only Access/Dirty bits. The bits considered safe were too broad, and not actually safe. A malicious PV guest administrat...

Xen Denial of Service Vulnerability (CNVD-2016-05534)

Xen is an open source virtual machine monitor product developed at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Xen has a denial-of-service vulnerability, which can be exploited by an attacker using a PV-mode x86 32-bit hardware platform to trigger a security check that will cause the VM...

CVE-2016-6258

A vulnerability was found Xen's MMU emulation for x86 PV guests. A malicious administrator of an x86 PV guest could control some of the page table bits, allowing potential control of memory and code execution in the host. x86 HVM and ARM guests could not exploit this flaw...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- x86 shadow pagetables: address width overflow (d51ced72-4212-11e6-942d-bc5ff45d0f28)

The Xen Project reports : In the x86 shadow pagetable code, the guest frame number of a superpage mapping is stored in a 32-bit field. If a shadowed guest can cause a superpage mapping of a guest-physical address at or above 2^44 to be shadowed, the top bits of the address will be lost, causing a...

Unrestricted qemu logging

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When the libxl toolstack launches qemu for HVM guests, it pipes the output of stderr to a file in /var/log/xen. This output is not rate-limited in any way. The guest can easily cause qemu to print messages to stderr, causing this file to become arbitrarily large. IMPACT The disk...
