x86: Mishandling of SYSCALL singlestep during emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The typical behaviour of singlestepping exceptions is determined at the start of the instruction, with a DB trap being raised at the end of the instruction. SYSCALL and SYSRET, although we don't implement it behave differently because the typical behaviour allows userspace to...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- x86 CMPXCHG8B emulation fails to ignore operand size override (80a897a2-c1a6-11e6-ae1b-002590263bf5)

The Xen Project reports : The x86 instruction CMPXCHG8B is supposed to ignore legacy operand size overrides; it only honors the REX.W override making it CMPXCHG16B. So, the operand size is always 8 or 16. When support for CMPXCHG16B emulation was added to the instruction emulator, this restrictio...

CVE-2016-9911

Quick Emulator Qemu built with the USB EHCI Emulation support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while processing packet data in 'ehciinittransfer'. A guest user/process could use this issue to leak host memory, resulting in DoS for a host...

Debian DSA-3729-1 : xen - security update

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2016-7777 XSA-190 Jan Beulich from SUSE discovered that Xen does not properly honor CR0.TS and CR0.EM for x86 HVM guests, potentially...

Xen Multiple Vulnerabilities (XSA-191 - XSA-198)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in the injectswint function in x86emulate.c due to improper handling of the format of IDT lookups...

The firmware binary code of the simulation and exploit technology-vulnerability warning-the black bar safety net

In a previous article, we introduced a firmware analysis and extraction of the file system method. In this article we will further introduce how to in-depth analysis of firmware binaries, and then use its common security vulnerabilities. In this paper, we will relate to the following as shown in...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- x86: Mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during emulation (49211361-ba4d-11e6-ae1b-002590263bf5)

The Xen Project reports : When emulating HVM instructions, Xen uses a small i-cache for fetches from guest memory. The code that handles cache misses does not check if the address from which it fetched lies within the cache before blindly writing to it. As such it is possible for the guest to...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- x86 segment base write emulation lacking canonical address checks (53dbd096-ba4d-11e6-ae1b-002590263bf5)

The Xen Project reports : Both writes to the FS and GS register base MSRs as well as the WRFSBASE and WRGSBASE instructions require their input values to be canonical, or a GP fault will be raised. When the use of those instructions by the hypervisor was enabled, the previous guard against GP...
