CVE-2020-29569

CVE-2020-29569 describes a use-after-free in the Linux kernel PV block backend (blkback) when Xen is used, where the kernel thread handler may not reset ring->xenblkd to NULL if the frontend toggles between connect/disconnect, allowing a misbehaving guest to trigger a dom0 crash. The issue aff...

Use after free triggered by block frontend in Linux blkback

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The Linux kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring-xenblkd to NULL when stopped. However, the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggle between the states connect and disconnect. As a consequence, the block backend may re-use ...

CVE-2020-27674

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges by modifying kernel memory contents, because invalidation of TLB entries is mishandled during use of an INVLPG-like attack technique...

x86 PV guest INVLPG-like flushes may leave stale TLB entries

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 PV guest kernels may use hypercalls with INVLPG-like behavior to invalidate TLB entries even after changes to non-leaf page tables. Such changes to non-leaf page tables will, however, also render stale possible TLB entries created by Xen's internal use of linear page tables ...
