Denial Of Service (DoS)

Xen is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. It is allowing x86 Intel HVM guest OS users to cause a host OS denial of service or possibly gain privileges because of insufficient cache write-back under VT-d. When page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, changes to them require flushing of both...

Xen Insufficient Cache Write-Back (XSA-321)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service and potential privilege escalation due to an insufficient cache write-back under VT-d. A malicious guest may be able to retain read/write DMA access to frames returned...

The vulnerability in the `hw/rdma/rdma_backend.c` component of the PVRDMA virtual network adapter emulator for hardware infrastructure, QEMU, allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability in the hw/rdma/rdmabackend.c component of the PVRDMA virtual network adapter, within the QEMU hardware emulation software, is related to the execution of operations outside the buffer boundaries. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to trigger a service failure...

CVE-2020-15565

Root cause: CVE-2020-15565 arises from insufficient cache write-back under VT-d when page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, requiring flushing of both CPU and IOMMU TLBs. A backport/backing fixes missed a necessary cache flush, leaving IOMMU updates potentially non-coherent. Affected produ...

insufficient cache write-back under VT-d

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, changes to them require flushing of both TLBs. Furthermore, IOMMUs may be non-coherent, and hence prior to flushing IOMMU TLBs CPU cached also needs writing back to memory after changes were made. Such writing back of cached dat...
