Missing check for grant table
ISSUE DESCRIPTION The function gnttabcacheflush handles GNTTABOPcacheflush grant table operations. It checks to see if the calling domain is the owner of the page that is to be operated on. If it is not, the owner's grant table is checked to see if a grant mapping to the calling domain exists for...
cxenstored: Race in domain cleanup
ISSUE DESCRIPTION When shutting down a VM with a stubdomain, a race in cxenstored may cause a double-free. IMPACT The xenstored daemon may crash, resulting in a DoS of any parts of the system relying on it including domain creation / destruction, ballooning, device changes, etc. VULNERABLE SYSTEM...
ALPINE-CVE-2017-12135
Xen allows local OS guest users to cause a denial of service crash or possibly obtain sensitive information or gain privileges via vectors involving transitive grants...
DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12134
The xenbiovecphysmergeable function in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability...
DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12136
Race condition in the grant table code in Xen 4.6.x through 4.9.x allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service free list corruption and host crash or gain privileges on the host via vectors involving maptrack free list handling...
x86: PV privilege escalation via map_grant_ref
ISSUE DESCRIPTION When mapping a grant reference, a guest must inform Xen of where it would like the grant mapped. For PV guests, this is done by nominating an existing linear address, or an L1 pagetable entry, to be altered. Neither of these PV paths check for alignment of the passed parameter...

Cyberspies Are Using Leaked NSA Hacking Tools to Spy On Hotels Guests
An infamous Russian-linked cyber-espionage group has been found re-using the same leaked NSA hacking tool that was deployed in the WannaCry and NotPetya outbreaks—this time to target Wi-Fi networks to spy on hotel guests in several European countries. Security researchers at FireEye have uncovere...
Qemu: virtio: null pointer dereference in virtqueu_map_desc
The virtqueuemapdesc function in hw/virtio/virtio.c in QEMU aka Quick Emulator allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and QEMU process crash via a large I/O descriptor buffer length value...
CVE-2017-10921
The grant-table feature in Xen through 4.8.x does not ensure sufficient type counts for a GNTMAPdevicemap and GNTMAPhostmap mapping, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service count mismanagement and memory corruption or obtain privileged host OS access, aka XSA-224 bug 2. Mitigatio...
x86: PKRU and BND* leakage between vCPU-s
ISSUE DESCRIPTION Memory Protection Extensions MPX and Protection Key PKU are features in newer processors, whose state is intended to be per-thread and context switched along with all other XSAVE state. Xen's vCPU context switch code would save and restore the state only if the guest had set the...
x86: insufficient reference counts during shadow emulation
ISSUE DESCRIPTION When using shadow paging, writes to guest pagetables must be trapped and emulated, so the shadows can be suitably adjusted as well. When emulating the write, Xen maps the guests pagetables to make the final adjustment and leave the guest's view of its state consistent. However,...
blkif responses leak backend stack data
ISSUE DESCRIPTION The block interface response structure has some discontiguous fields. Certain backends populate the structure fields of an otherwise uninitialized instance of this structure on their stacks, leaking data through the internal or trailing padding field. IMPACT A malicious...
stale P2M mappings due to insufficient error checking
ISSUE DESCRIPTION Certain actions require removing pages from a guest's P2M Physical-to-Machine mapping. When large pages are in use to map guest pages in the 2nd-stage page tables, such a removal operation may incur a memory allocation to replace a large mapping with individual smaller ones. If...
UBUNTU-CVE-2017-9373
Memory leak in QEMU aka Quick Emulator, when built with IDE AHCI Emulation support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service memory consumption by repeatedly hot-unplugging the AHCI device...
Debian DLA-964-1 : xen security update
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : CVE-2016-9932 XSA-200 CMPXCHG8B emulation allows local HVM guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host stack memory. CVE-2017-7995...
ALPINE-CVE-2017-8903
Xen through 4.8.x on 64-bit platforms mishandles page tables after an IRET hypercall, which might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, aka XSA-213...

x86: 64bit PV guest breakout via pagetable use-after-mode-change
ISSUE DESCRIPTION 64-bit PV guests typically use separate root page tables for their kernel and user modes. Hypercalls are accessible to guest kernel context only, which certain hypercall handlers make assumptions on. The IRET hypercall replacing the identically name CPU instruction is used by...
