Code injection

bhyve, as used in FreeBSD through 12.1 and illumos e.g., OmniOS CE through r151034 and OpenIndiana through Hipster 2020.04, does not properly restrict VMCS and VMCB read/write operations, as demonstrated by a root user in a container on an Intel system, who can gain privileges by modifying...

CVE-2020-24718

CVE-2020-24718 affects bhyve in FreeBSD (through 12.x) and related illumos variants (e.g., OmniOS CE, OpenIndiana). The issue is insufficient access controls on Intel VMCS/VMCB structures, allowing a root user in a container (host or jailed bhyve instance) to modify VMCS_HOST_RIP and escalate to ...

FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- bhyve privilege escalation via VMCS access (2c5b9cd7-f7e6-11ea-88f8-901b0ef719ab)

AMD and Intel CPUs support hardware virtualization using specialized data structures that control various aspects of guest operation. These are the Virtual Machine Control Structure VMCS on Intel CPUs, and the Virtual Machine Control Block VMCB on AMD CPUs. Insufficient access controls allow root...

KVM (Nested Virtualization) - L1 Guest Privilege Escalation

When KVM on Intel virtualizes another hypervisor as L1 VM it does not verify that VMX instructions from the L1 VM which trigger a VM exit and are emulated by L0 KVM are coming from ring 0. For code running on bare metal or VMX root mode this is enforced by hardware. However, for code running in L...

CVE-2010-2938

CVE-2010-2938 affects the Linux kernel 2.6.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, specifically arch/x86/hvm/vmx/vmcs.c VMCS handling. The flaw occurs on Intel platforms without Extended Page Tables (EPT) where VMCS fields are accessed without confirming hardware support. Local users can cause a denial...
