qemu-dm buffer overrun in MSI-X handling

ISSUE DESCRIPTION "qemu-xen-traditional" aka qemu-dm tracks state for each MSI-X table entry of a passed through device. This is used/updated on intercepted accesses to the pages containing the MSI-X table. There may be space on the final page not covered by any MSI-X table entry, but memory for...

Linux pciback missing sanity checks leading to crash

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Xen PCI backend driver does not perform proper sanity checks on the device's state. Which in turn allows the generic MSI code called by Xen PCI backend to be called incorrectly leading to hitting BUG conditions or causing NULL pointer exceptions in the MSI code. CVE-2015-8551 To...
