xen-kernel -- GNTTABOP_swap_grant_ref operation misbehavior

The Xen Project reports: With the introduction of version 2 grant table operations, a version check became necessary for most grant table related hypercalls. The GNTTABOPswapgrantref call was lacking such a check. As a result, the subsequent code behaved as if version 2 was in use, when a guest...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-4022

The allocdomainstruct function in arch/arm/domain.c in Xen 4.4.x, when running on an ARM platform, does not properly initialize the structure containing the grant table pages for a domain, which allows local guest administrators to obtain sensitive information via the GNTTABOPsetuptable...

information leak via gnttab_setup_table on ARM

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When initialising an internal data structure on ARM platform Xen was not correctly initialising the memory containing the list of a domain's grant table pages. This list is returned by the GNTTABOPsetuptable subhypercall, leading to an information leak. IMPACT Malicious guest...
