Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. The vulnerability exists as the absence of sanity-checks was found in the hypervisor block backend driver, when running 32-bit paravirtualized guests on a 64-bit host. The number of blocks to be processed per one request from guest to host, or...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

xen is vulnerable to denial of service. The hypervisor's para-virtualized framebuffer PVFB backend failed to validate the frontend's framebuffer description. This could allow a malicious user to cause a denial of service, or to use a specially crafted frontend to compromise the privileged domain...

Information Disclosure

The kernel is vulnerable to information disclosure. a flaw in the hypervisor for hosts running on Itanium architectures allowed an Intel VTi domain to read arbitrary physical memory from other Intel VTi domains, which could make information available to unauthorized users...

Xen Project Denial of Service (XSA-295)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by multiple denial of service DoS vulnerabilities : - A denial of service DoS vulnerability exists in the LoadExcl and StoreExcl operations due to a possible infinite loop. An unauthenticate...

LSN-0065-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the way KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine emulated the IOAPIC. A privileged guest user could exploit this flaw to read host memory or cause a denial of service crash the host. CVE-2013-1798 It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel, when...

CVE-2019-14821

An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvmcoalescedmmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring-first' and 'ring-last' value could be supplied by a host user-space...

CVE-2020-2732

A flaw was discovered in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1 resources that should be inaccessible to the L2 guest...

CVE-2020-2732

CVE-2020-2732 is a Linux kernel vulnerability affecting KVM nested virtualization. The issue arises in how the KVM implementation handles instruction emulation for L2 guests when nested virtualization is enabled, potentially allowing an L2 guest to cause privilege escalation, denial of service, o...

CVE-2020-2732

A flaw was discovered in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1 resources that should be inaccessible to the L2 guest...

CVE-2019-7222

An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the returned exception object hold...

CVE-2018-1087

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first...

CVE-2020-8834

A flaw was found in the way the KVM hypervisor on the Power8 processor stores the r1 register state in the 'HSTATEHOSTR1' field on the Linux kernel stack. This flaw occurs while handling hypercalls in Transactional Memory TM suspend mode in the kvmppcsavetm and kvmppcrestoretm routines, leading t...

CVE-2019-3016

A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled deferred TLB flush requests from guest. A race condition may occur between the guest issuing a deferred TLB flush request to KVM, and then KVM handling and acknowledging it. This may result in invalid address translations from TLB...

CVE-2018-16882

A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts when nested=1 virtualization is enabled. In nestedgetvmcs12pages, in case of an error while processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pidescpage' without resetting 'pidesc' descript...

MGASA-2020-0158 Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities

This update is based on upstream 5.5.15 and fixes at least the following security vulnerabilities: In the Linux kernel 5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free read in the blkaddtrace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c which is used to fill out a blkiotrace structure and place it in a per-cpu...
