x86 task switch to VM86 mode mis-handled

ISSUE DESCRIPTION LDTR, just like TR, is purely a protected mode facility. Hence even when switching to a VM86 mode task, LDTR loading needs to follow protected mode semantics. This was violated by the code. IMPACT On SVM AMD hardware: a malicious unprivileged guest process can escalate its...

x86 null segments not always treated as unusable

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The Xen x86 emulator erroneously failed to consider the unusability of segments when performing memory accesses. The intended behaviour is as follows: The user data segment %ds, %es, %fs and %gs selectors may be NULL in 32-bit to prevent access. In 64-bit, NULL has a special...

x86: Disallow L3 recursive pagetable for 32-bit PV guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION On real hardware, a 32-bit PAE guest must leave the USER and RW bit clear in L3 pagetable entries, but the pagetable walk behaves as if they were set. The L3 entries are cached in processor registers, and don't actually form part of the pagewalk. When running a 32-bit PV guest o...

x86: Mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during emulation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION 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 overwrite...
