Rogue backends can cause Denial of Service DoS attacks on guests through high-frequency events. This CNA information record relates to multiple Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVEs. Xen allows for the execution of PV...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: smm: the number of GPRs in the SMRAM image depends on the image format. On 64-bit hosts, if the guest does not have X86FEATURELM, KVM will access 16 GPRs to the 32-bit SMMR image, resulting in an out-of-bound RAM access...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Ensure liveliness of nested VM-Enter fail tracepoint message Use the string machinery provided by the tracing subsystem to create a copy of the string literals used in the “nested VM-Enter failed” tracepoint. A complete...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86 – Mark the target gfn of the emulated atomic instruction as dirty When emulating an atomic access on behalf of the guest, mark the target gfn as dirty if the CMPXCHG instruction attempts to be executed and fails without ...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: KVM: Fixed a stack protection issue in the sendipidata function. The function kvmiobusread is called in the sendipidata function. The buffer size of the parameter val should be at least 8 bytes. However, some emulation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virtualization mode when SMM state is toggled The nested virtualization mode is forcibly exited if the user space toggles the SMM state using KVMSETVCPUEVENTS or KVMSYNCX86EVENTS. If the user space...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This vulnerability can occur when the address of the descriptor belongs to the non-direct access region, due to the numbuffers being set after the virtqueue elem has been unmapped. A malicious guest can exploit this...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/sev: Use TSCFACTOR for calculating the Secure TSC frequency. When using Secure TSC, the GUESTTSCFREQ MSR reports a frequency based on the nominal P0 frequency, which deviates slightly typically 0.2% from the actual mean TSC...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A issue was discovered in Linux: improper handling of VMIO|VMPFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO checks and may cause pages to be freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users who have the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, potentially...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

A flaw was discovered in KVM. When updating a guest’s page table entry, vmpgoff was incorrectly used as the offset to obtain the page’s pfn. Since vaddr and vmpgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Immediately reset the MMU context when the SMM flag is cleared The MMU context must be reset immediately when the SMM flag of the vCPU is cleared, so that the SMM flag in the MMU context is always synchronized with the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: KVM: s390 – Fixed an issue with validity checks when gisa is disabled. This issue occurs when gisa is disabled either by using the kernel parameter “kvm.usegisa=0” or by setting the related sysfs attribute to N e.g., echo N...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Qemu

A flaw was discovered in the implementation of the 9p passthrough filesystem 9pfs in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not prevent the opening of special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: pv: fix index value of replaced ASCE The index field of the struct page corresponding to a guest ASCE should be 0. When replacing the ASCE in s390replaceasce, the index of the new ASCE should also be set to 0. Using th...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: scsi: qedf: Add stagwork to all the vports A call trace was observed when creating NPIV ports. Only 32 out of 64 ports are shown as online. The stagwork was not initialized for the vports; therefore, it needs to be initialized...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Correctly handling the kvmarminit failure in finalizepkvm Currently, there is no synchronization between the finalizepkvm and kvmarminit initcalls. The finalizepkvm continues to execute even if kvmarminit fails,...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: drm/gpusvm: fixed the usage of hmmpfntomaporder Handled the case where the hmm range partially covers a large page such as 2M. Otherwise, we might end up doing something unpleasant, such as mapping memory that is outside the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

A flaw was discovered in KVM. An improper check in svmsetx2apicmsrinterception may allow direct access to the host’s x2apic MSRs when the guest resets its APIC, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition...
