Xen Project INVPCID with Non-Canonical Addresses DoS (XSA-279)

According to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is affected by a guest-to-host denial of service vulnerability. An attacker located on a guest virtual machine may be able to exploit this vulnerability to affect the availability of the host system. On...

CVE-2018-19966

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash or possibly gain host OS privileges because of an interpretation conflict for a union data structure associated with shadow paging. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorre...

CVE-2018-19965

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x allowing 64-bit PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash because GP0 can occur after a non-canonical address is passed to the TLB flushing code. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect CVE-2017-5754 aka Meltdown mitigation...

CVE-2018-19406

kvmpvsendipi in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and BUG via crafted system calls that reach a situation where the apic map is uninitialized...

x86: DoS from attempting to use INVPCID with a non-canonical addresses

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The INVPCID instruction raises GP0 if an attempt is made to invalidate a non-canonical address. Older flushing mechanisms such as INVLPG tolerate this without error, and perform no action. There is one guest accessible path in Xen where a non-canonical address was passed into th...

Fix for XSA-240 conflicts with shadow paging

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The fix for XSA-240 introduced a new field into the control structure associated with each page of RAM. This field was added to a union, another member of which is used when Xen uses shadow paging for the guest. During migration, or with the L1TF XSA-273 mitigation for PV guests...

Linux: Uninitialized state in x86 PV failsafe callback path

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Linux has a failsafe callback, invoked by Xen under certain conditions. Normally in this failsafe callback, errorentry is paired with errorexit; and errorentry uses %ebx to communicate to errorexit whether to use the user or kernel return path. Unfortunately, on 64-bit PV Xen on...
