SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : xen (SUSE-SU-2016:3208-1)

This update for xen fixes the following issues : - A Mishandling of SYSCALL singlestep during emulation which could have lead to privilege escalation. XSA-204, bsc1016340, CVE-2016-10013 - CMPXCHG8B emulation failed to ignore operand size override which could have lead to information disclosure...

x86 PV guests may be able to mask interrupts

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Certain PV guest kernel operations page table writes in particular need emulation, and use Xen's general x86 instruction emulator. This allows a malicious guest kernel which asynchronously modifies its instruction stream to effect the clearing of EFLAGS.IF from the state used to...

DEBIAN-CVE-2016-7466

Memory leak in the usbxhciexit function in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c in QEMU aka Quick Emulator, when the xhci uses msix, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service memory consumption and possibly QEMU process crash by repeatedly unplugging a USB device...

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a hacker to obtain information about other users’ passwords.

The vulnerability of the proc/interrupts file in Linux operating systems is related to the lack of protection for service data. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to obtain information about the password length, and then use statistical analysis methods to determine the exact...

The vulnerability of Google Chrome browser allows a violator to circumvent existing access restrictions policies.

The vulnerability of the FrameLoader::startLoad function WebKit/Source/core/loader/FrameLoader.cpp in the Google Chrome browser’s Blink component is related to the lack of control over frame navigation during interrupt operations of the DocumentLoader. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a...

kernel: x86-64: IRET faults during NMIs processing

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially although highly unlikely, escalate their privileges on the system...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8554

Buffer overflow in hw/pt-msi.c in Xen 4.6.x and earlier, when using the qemu-xen-traditional aka qemu-dm device model, allows local x86 HVM guest administrators to gain privileges by leveraging a system with access to a passed-through MSI-X capable physical PCI device and MSI-X table entries,...
