kernel: vhost-net: guest to host kernel escape during migration

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could use this fla...

CVE-2019-14821

An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, 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'...

CVE-2019-14821

CVE-2019-14821 is a Linux kernel KVM issue: an out-of-bounds access in the Coalesced MMIO write path can occur if a host user controls the MMIO ring buffer indices (ring->first/ring->last). A local attacker with /dev/kvm access could crash the host kernel or potentially escalate privileges ...

Kernel: KVM: nVMX: guest accesses L0 MSR causes potential DoS

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Register MSR access with nested=1 virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash th...

Collect a complete memory dump on a MCS (non-persistent) machine on XenServer (Citrix Hypervisor)

This article outlines the steps to collect complete memory dump on a MCS non-persistent machine on XenServer Citrix Hypervisor. Often we are not able to get the memory dump in instances where MCS provisioned VDAs show behaviors like unresponsiveness/hang. The reason being the machine fails to sav...

The vulnerabilities of the functions virConnectBaselineHypervisorCPU() and virConnectCompareHypervisorCPU() in the Libvirt management library allow a attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate their privileges.

The vulnerabilities of the functions virConnectBaselineHypervisorCPU and virConnectCompareHypervisorCPU in the Libvirt management library are due to access control errors. Exploiting these vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or increase their privileges...
