pin count / page reference race in grant table code

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Grant copying code made an implication that any grant pin would be accompanied by a suitable page reference. Other portions of code, however, did not match up with that assumption. When such a grant copy operation is being done on a grant of a dying domain, the assumption turns...

CVE-2017-15588

CVE-2017-15588 affects the Xen hypervisor. Documented as a race-condition in Xen up to 4.9.x that can cause a stale TLB entry, enabling local x86 PV guest users to execute arbitrary code on the host. Public details describe a host-wards impact via TLB/ paging-structure cache timing, with the vuln...

CVE-2017-15594

CVE-2017-15594 affects the Xen hypervisor up to version 4.9.x. The root cause is mishandling of IDT settings during CPU hotplugging, allowing x86 SVM PV guest OS users to cause a hypervisor crash (DoS) or escalate privileges. Exploitation details and concrete fixes are not provided in the supplie...

Xen - Pagetable De-typing Unbounded Recursion

Xen - Pagetable De-typing Unbounded Recursion Xen allows pagetables of the same level to map each other as readonly in PV domains. This is useful if a guest wants to use the self-referential pagetable trick for easy access to pagetables by mapped virtual address. When cleaning up a pagetable afte...

x86: Incorrect handling of IST settings during CPU hotplug

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The x86-64 architecture allows interrupts to be run on distinct stacks. The choice of stack is encoded in a field of the corresponding interrupt descriptor in the Interrupt Descriptor Table IDT. That field selects an entry from the active Task State Segment TSS. Since, on AMD...

x86: Incorrect handling of self-linear shadow mappings with translated guests

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The shadow pagetable code uses linear mappings to inspect and modify the shadow pagetables. A linear mapping which points back to itself is known as self-linear. For translated guests, the shadow linear mappings being in a separate address space are not intended to be self-linea...

page type reference leak on x86

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The page type system of Xen requires cleanup when the last reference for a given page is being dropped. In order to exclude simultaneous updates to a given page by multiple parties, pages which are updated are locked beforehand. This locking includes temporarily increasing the...
