CVE-2014-8594

CVE-2014-8594 affects Xen 4.x up to 4.4.x (Xen hypervisor) where do_mmu_update in arch/x86/mm.c does not properly restrict updates to PV page tables. This enables remote PV guests to trigger a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guest...

Missing privilege level checks in x86 emulation of far branches

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The emulation of far branch instructions CALL, JMP, and RETF in Intel assembly syntax, LCALL, LJMP, and LRET in AT&T assembly syntax incompletely performs privilege checks. However these instructions are not usually handled by the emulator. Exceptions to this are - when a memory...

Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls

ISSUE DESCRIPTION MMU update operations targeting page tables are intended to be used on PV guests only. The lack of a respective check made it possible for such operations to access certain function pointers which remain NULL when the target guest is using Hardware Assisted Paging HAP. IMPACT...
