x86 PV guest INVLPG-like flushes may leave stale TLB entries

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 PV guest kernels may use hypercalls with INVLPG-like behavior to invalidate TLB entries even after changes to non-leaf page tables. Such changes to non-leaf page tables will, however, also render stale possible TLB entries created by Xen's internal use of linear page tables ...

LSN-0065-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the way KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine emulated the IOAPIC. A privileged guest user could exploit this flaw to read host memory or cause a denial of service crash the host. CVE-2013-1798 It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel, when...

CVE-2018-18281

Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap, a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical pag...
