CVE-2021-28705

issues with partially successful P2M updates on x86 This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE. x86 HVM and PVH guests may be started in populate-on-demand PoD mode, to provide a way for them to later easily have...

guests may exceed their designated memory limit

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When a guest is permitted to have close to 16TiB of memory, it may be able to issue hypercalls to increase its memory allocation beyond the administrator established limit. This is a result of a calculation done with 32-bit precision, which may overflow. It would then only be th...

FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Xen grant mapping error handling issues (5b8c6e1e-770f-11eb-b87a-901b0ef719ab)

Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or failure of each one reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then loops over the results, performing follow-up actions based on the success or failur...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions 3.2 through 5.10.16 Description: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel, as used by Xen, where grant mapping operations in batch hypercalls are mishandled by Linux backend drivers when running in PV mode. This can...

CVE-2020-15687

Missing access control restrictions in the Hypervisor component of the ACRN Project v2.0 and v1.6.1 allow a malicious entity, with root access in the Service VM userspace, to abuse the PCIe assign/de-assign Hypercalls via crafted ioctls and payloads. This attack results in a corrupt state and...

Arbitrary Code Execution

xen is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as an issue was discovered in Xen through 4.13.x, allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges because of missing memory barriers in read-write unlock paths. The read-write unlock paths don...

CVE-2020-11739

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.13.x, allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges because of missing memory barriers in read-write unlock paths. The read-write unlock paths don't contain a memory barrier. On Arm, this means a processor is allowed to...

Missing memory barriers in read-write unlock paths

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The read-write unlock paths don't contain a memory barrier. On Arm, this means a processor is allowed to re-order the memory access with the preceding ones. In other words, the unlock may be seen by another processor before all the memory accesses within the "critical" section. ...

OracleVM 3.2 : xen (OVMSA-2017-0159)

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : - The code of OVM3.2.9 is quite old, there is no getpage/putpage pair to protect the ownership and references of page table page which is mapped in emulatemapdest. This patch fix it by adding getpage in...

Missing NUMA node parameter verification

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The function allocheappages allows callers to specify the first NUMA node that should be used for allocations through the memflags parameter; the node is extracted using the MEMFgetnode macro. While the function checks to see if the special constant NUMANONODE is specified, it...

Pandavirtualization: Exploiting the Xen hypervisor

Posted by Jann Horn, Project Zero On 2017-03-14, I reported a bug to Xen's security team that permits an attacker with control over the kernel of a paravirtualized x86-64 Xen guest to break out of the hypervisor and gain full control over the machine's physical memory. The Xen Project publicly...
