CVE-2021-29657

arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 5.11.12 has a use-after-free in which an AMD KVM guest can bypass access control on host OS MSRs when there are nested guests, aka CID-a58d9166a756. This occurs because of a TOCTOU race condition associated with a VMCB12 double fetch in...

CVE-2021-28689

CVE-2021-28689 concerns the Xen hypervisor. The issue affects 32-bit PV guests running in ring 1 on x86, where 32-bit PV guest kernels were paravirtualised in the original design. The underlying cause is speculative execution side-channel risk in this ring, with Indirect Branch Restricted Specula...

x86: Speculative vulnerabilities with bare (non-shim) 32-bit PV guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION 32-bit x86 PV guest kernels run in ring 1. At the time when Xen was developed, this area of the i386 architecture was rarely used, which is why Xen was able to use it to implement paravirtualisation, Xen's novel approach to virtualization. In AMD64, Xen had to use a different...

Xen Inverted Conditional DoS (XSA-319)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by an issue allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a hypervisor crash. An inverted conditional in x86 HVM guests' dirty video RAM tracking code allows such guests to make Xen de-reference ...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Xen is vulnerable to Denial of Service DoS. An x86 HVM guest with PCI pass through devices can force the allocation of all IDT vectors on the system by rebooting itself with MSI or MSI-X capabilities enabled and entries setup. Such reboots will leak any vectors used by the MSI-X entries that the...
