DEBIAN-CVE-2021-28689

x86: Speculative vulnerabilities with bare non-shim 32-bit PV guests 32-bit x86 PV guest kernels run in ring 1. At the time when Xen was developed, this area of the i386 architecture was rarely used, which is why Xen was able to use it to implement paravirtualisation, Xen's novel approach to...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-28039

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.9.x through 5.11.3, as used with Xen. In some less-common configurations, an x86 PV guest OS user can crash a Dom0 or driver domain via a large amount of I/O activity. The issue relates to misuse of guest physical addresses when a configuration has...

Linux: special config may crash when trying to map foreign pages

ISSUE DESCRIPTION With CONFIGXENBALLOONMEMORYHOTPLUG disabled and CONFIGXENUNPOPULATEDALLOC enabled the Linux kernel will use guest physical addresses allocated via the ZONEDEVICE functionality for mapping foreign guest's pages. This will result in problems, as the p2m list will only cover the...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1 as used with Xen through 4.14.x. drivers/xen/events/events_base.c allows event-channel removal during the event-handling loop (a race condition). This can cause a use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference as demonstrated by a dom0 crash via events for an in-reconfiguration paravirtualized device aka CID-073d0552ead5.

DEBIAN-CVE-2020-25596

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. x86 PV guest kernels can experience denial of service via SYSENTER. The SYSENTER instruction leaves various state sanitization activities to software. One of Xen's sanitization paths injects a GP fault, and incorrectly delivers it twice to the guest...

CVE-2018-15594

It was found that paravirtpatchcall/jump functions in the arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtualized guests...

ALPINE-CVE-2019-19580

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.12.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to gain host OS privileges by leveraging race conditions in pagetable promotion and demotion operations, because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-18421. XSA-299 addressed several critical issues in restartable PV type...
