Information leak via internal x86 system device emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Emulation routines in the hypervisor dealing with certain system devices check whether the access size by the guest is a supported one. When the access size is unsupported these routines failed to set the data to be returned to the guest for read accesses, so that hypervisor sta...

xen-kernel -- Information leak via internal x86 system device emulation

The Xen Project reports: Emulation routines in the hypervisor dealing with certain system devices check whether the access size by the guest is a supported one. When the access size is unsupported these routines failed to set the data to be returned to the guest for read accesses, so that...

Xen External X86 System Device Emulation Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Xen is an open source virtual machine. Xen has a security vulnerability that allows a malicious HVM Guest to simulate reading sensitive data from other Guests via an external X86 system setting...

Information disclosure

The emsysenter function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5, when the guest OS lacks SYSENTER MSR initialization, allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges or cause a denial of service guest OS crash by triggering use of a 16-bit code segment for emulation of a...

xen-kernel -- arm: vgic-v2: GICD_SGIR is not properly emulated

The Xen Project reports: When decoding a guest write to a specific register in the virtual interrupt controller Xen would treat an invalid value as a critical error and crash the host. By writing an invalid value to the GICD.SGIR register a guest can crash the host, resulting in a Denial of Servi...

Microsoft Windows Kernel 'cng.sys' Security Bypass Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is a popular operating system. A security bypass vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Windows CNG Kernel Mode Driver cng.sys due to a failure to properly verify and enforce the emulation level, which allows attackers to construct malicious applications that can be tricked into...
