The SMA Solar Sunny WebBox is a device from SMA Germany for remote monitoring and maintenance of medium and large PV plants. A security vulnerability exists in the SMA Solar Sunny WebBox, which can be exploited by remote attackers to gain access...

Use after free in QEMU/Xen block unplug protocol

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When unplugging an emulated block device the device was not fully unplugged, meaning a second unplug attempt would attempt to unplug the device a second time using a previously freed pointer. IMPACT An HVM guest which has access to an emulated IDE disk device may be able to...

QEMU heap overflow flaw while processing certain ATAPI commands.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The QEMU security team has predisclosed the following advisory: A heap overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU's IDE subsystem handled I/O buffer access while processing certain ATAPI commands. A privileged guest user in a guest with CDROM drive enabled could potentially use thi...

FreeBSD : xen-kernel -- vulnerability in the iret hypercall handler (8c31b288-27ec-11e5-a4a5-002590263bf5)

The Xen Project reports : A buggy loop in Xen's compatiret function iterates the wrong way around a 32-bit index. Any 32-bit PV guest kernel can trigger this vulnerability by attempting a hypercalliret with EFLAGS.VM set. Given the use of get/putuser, and that the virtual addresses in question ar...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-4164

The compatiret function in Xen 3.1 through 4.5 iterates the wrong way through a loop, which allows local 32-bit PV guest administrators to cause a denial of service large loop and system hang via a hypercalliret call with EFLAGS.VM set...

CVE-2015-4164

Vulnerability: CVE-2015-4164 affects Xen 3.1–4.5. The compat_iret function iterates the loop incorrectly, enabling local 32-bit PV guests to trigger a denial of service (large loop, system hang) via hypercall_iret when EFLAGS.VM is set. Exploitation status is not detailed in the provided document...

HVM qemu unexpectedly enabling emulated VGA graphics backends

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When instantiating an emulated VGA device for an x86 HVM guest qemu will by default enable a backend to expose that device, either SDL or VNC depending on the version of qemu and the build time configuration. The libxl toolstack library does not explicitly disable these default...

Excessive checking in compatibility mode hypercall argument translation

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The hypercall argument translation needed for 32-bit guests running on 64-bit hypervisors performs checks on the final register state. These checks cover all registers potentially holding hypercall arguments, not just the ones actually doing so for the hypercall being processed,...

CVE-2014-8594

The dommuupdate function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen 4.x through 4.4.x does not properly restrict updates to only PV page tables, which allows remote PV guests to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference by leveraging hardware emulation services for HVM guests using Hardware Assisted Paging...

Insufficient restrictions on certain MMU update hypercalls

ISSUE DESCRIPTION MMU update operations targeting page tables are intended to be used on PV guests only. The lack of a respective check made it possible for such operations to access certain function pointers which remain NULL when the target guest is using Hardware Assisted Paging HAP. IMPACT...
