kernel: xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xen/privcmd module. A local user could exploit this by performing a partial unmapping of a privcmd memory region. This action causes a Virtual Memory Area VMA to split, leading to duplicated internal memory pointers. As a result, the same memory can be freed...

Xen: domctl Lock Open to Abuse (XSA-492)

To create and manage guests, domctl operations are used by the control domain, a possible Xenstore domain, or by a domain controlling a particular guest. Some of these operations may not be executed in parallel, so a system-wide lock is used. The way that lock is acquired is, however, not providi...

Xen: x86 HVM I/O Port List Traversal (XSA-491)

HVM guest I/O port accesses are subject to either emulation or at least translation. Translations are managed by the device model via XENDOMCTLioportmapping, and hence the linked list used may changed at any time. Traversal of those lists while handling guest I/O port accesses therefore needs...

Xen: x86 Mismatched Mapcache Metadata (XSA-494)

Some shadow paging errors paths will switch the page-tables without updating the currently running vCPU reference. This causes a mismatch between the loaded page-tables and the mapcache metadata which can lead to corruption of the mapcache. This can result in privilege escalation, Denial of Servi...

Arm: Completion of memory accesses not guaranteed by completion of a TLBI

ISSUE DESCRIPTION A hardware issue has been identified in certain Arm CPU designs. A broadcast TLBI on one PE may complete before affected memory accesses on another PE are globally observed. This may permit bypass of Stage 1 translation, Stage 2 translation, or GPT protection. The erratum occurs...
