CVE-2019-18425

A flaw was in Xen. Guest specified limits for descriptor table access, during PV guest operations, were found to not be enforced. An attacker with the ability to emulate 32-bit guest user mode calls through call gates, would be allowed to install and then use descriptors of their choice as long a...

Xen Project Descriptor Table Limit Checking Privilege Escalation Vulnerability (XSA-298)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper bounds checking for descriptor table accesses. An authenticated attacker, in user mode on a 32-bit guest, could leverage this...

kernel: use-after-free in arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c

A vulnerability was found in the arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c function in the Linux kernel. An attacker could corrupt the memory due to a flaw in use-after-free access to an LDT entry caused by a race condition between modifyldt and a BR exception for an MPX bounds violation...

CVE-2019-18425

CVE-2019-18425 affects Xen across 3.2+ and enables privilege escalation in 32-bit PV guests due to missing descriptor table limit checks in x86 PV emulation. The vulnerability is limited to 32-bit PV guest user mode; HVM/PVH/64-bit PV guests and ARM are not affected. Exploitation would let a gues...

missing descriptor table limit checking in x86 PV emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When emulating certain PV guest operations, descriptor table accesses are performed by the emulating code. Such accesses should respect the guest specified limits, unless otherwise guaranteed to fail in such a case. Without this, emulation of 32-bit guest user mode calls through...

PT-2019-4839 · Xen +1 · Xen +1

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Xen versions 3.2 through 4.12.x Description: The issue is related to an error in the x86 PV emulation of the Xen hypervisor, specifically a missing check for the descriptor table limit. This could allow a remote attacker to access confidentia...

DEBIAN-CVE-2019-13233

kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption

A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the GDT.LIMIT to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB. With a corrupted GDT limit a host's userspace code has an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT, particularly to the per-cp...
