CVE-2015-4103

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x does not properly restrict write access to the host MSI message data field, which allows local x86 HVM guest administrators to cause a denial of service host interrupt handling confusion via vectors related to qemu and accessing spanning multiple fields...

CVE-2015-4106

CVE-2015-4106 : QEMU does not properly restrict write access to the PCI config space for certain PCI passthrough devices, which the documents describe as enabling local x86 HVM guests to gain privileges, cause host crashes, obtain sensitive information, or suffer other unspecified impact. The con...

CVE-2015-4104

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x does not properly restrict access to PCI MSI mask bits, which allows local x86 HVM guest users to cause a denial of service unexpected interrupt and host crash via unspecified vectors...

CVE-2015-4105

Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x enables logging for PCI MSI-X pass-through error messages, which allows local x86 HVM guests to cause a denial of service host disk consumption via certain invalid operations...

PCI MSI mask bits inadvertently exposed to guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The mask bits optionally available in the PCI MSI capability structure are used by the hypervisor to occasionally suppress interrupt delivery. Unprivileged guests were, however, nevertheless allowed direct control of these bits. IMPACT Interrupts may be observed by Xen at...

Guest triggerable qemu MSI-X pass-through error messages

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Device model code dealing with guest PCI MSI-X interrupt management activities logs messages on certain supposedly invalid guest operations. IMPACT A buggy or malicious guest repeatedly invoking such operations may result in the host disk to fill up, possibly leading to a Denial...

Unmediated PCI register access in qemu

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Qemu allows guests to not only read, but also write all parts of the PCI config space but not extended config space of passed through PCI devices not explicitly dealt with for partial emulation purposes. IMPACT Since the effect depends on the specific purpose of the the config...

Potential unintended writes to host MSI message data field via qemu

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Logic is in place to avoid writes to certain host config space fields when the guest must nevertheless be able to access their virtual counterparts. A bug in how this logic deals with accesses spanning multiple fields allows the guest to write to the host MSI message data field...

Debian DSA-3262-1 : xen - security update (Venom)

Jason Geffner discovered a buffer overflow in the emulated floppy disk drive, resulting in the potential execution of arbitrary code. This only affects HVM guests. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Debia...

Information leak through XEN_DOMCTL_gettscinfo

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The handler for XENDOMCTLgettscinfo failed to initialize a padding field subsequently copied to guest memory. A similar bug existed in XENSYSCTLgetdomaininfolist, which is addressed by the patches provided here even though that operation was declared by XSA-77 not to provide...

CVE-2015-2752

The XENDOMCTLmemorymapping hypercall in Xen 3.2.x through 4.5.x, when using a PCI passthrough device, is not preemptible, which allows local x86 HVM domain users to cause a denial of service host CPU consumption via a crafted request to the device model qemu-dm...

CVE-2015-2752

The CVE-2015-2752 issue affects Xen 3.2.x–4.5.x (PCI passthrough) where the XEN_DOMCTL_memory_mapping hypercall is not preemptible, enabling local x86 HVM users to cause host CPU exhaustion (DoS) via crafted device-model requests (qemu-dm). Public advisories in Debian (DLA-479-1) and Mageia (MGAS...

Long latency MMIO mapping operations are not preemptible

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The XENDOMCTLmemorymapping hypercall allows long running operations without implementing preemption. This hypercall is used by the device model as part of the emulation associated with configuration of PCI devices passed through to HVM guests and is therefore indirectly exposed ...

Unmediated PCI command register access in qemu

ISSUE DESCRIPTION HVM guests are currently permitted to modify the memory and I/O decode bits in the PCI command register of devices passed through to them. Unless the device is an SR-IOV virtual function, after disabling one or both of these bits subsequent accesses to the MMIO or I/O port range...
