kernel: Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Xen hypervisor driver drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c. This flaw occurs because the HYPERVISORxenversionXENVERbuildid function returns a build ID that is not properly null-terminated. When the buildidshow function...

kernel: xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xen/privcmd module. A local user could exploit this by performing a partial unmapping of a privcmd memory region. This action causes a Virtual Memory Area VMA to split, leading to duplicated internal memory pointers. As a result, the same memory can be freed...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen: privcmd: Fixed the possibility of accessing a freed kirqfd instance. Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmdirqfdassign and privcmdirqfddeassign. If this occurs, it is possible that a kirqfd created and added to...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A issue was discovered in the Linux kernel versions 3.2 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. Grant mapping operations often occur during batch hypercalls, where multiple operations are performed in a single hypercall. The success or failure of each operation is reported to the backend driver, and the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

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 Xen

Inappropriate x86 IOMMU timeout detection/handling: IOMMU processes commands that are issued in parallel with the operation of the CPUs that issue those commands. In the current implementation in Xen, asynchronous notifications of the completion of such commands are not used. Instead, the issuing...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Xen

Potential speculative code storage bypasses exist in all supported CPU products. Combined with software vulnerabilities related to speculative execution of overwritten instructions, this could lead to incorrect speculation and potentially cause data leakage...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/amdnb: The function amdgetmmconfigrange uses rdmsrsafe, which should not be used without proper safeguards. Xen does not provide the MSRFAM10HMMIOCONFbase to all guests. This results in the following warning: Unchecked MSR...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

The Linux kernel before version 5.18.13 lacked a clear mechanism for handling the block start symbol .bss. This allowed Xen PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges...

CVE-2026-42490

CVE-2026-42490 : The supplied documents describe a vulnerability in Xen domctl lock handling. When XSM/Flask is in use, certain domctl operations acquire the system-wide lock before performing permission checks, meaning lock acquisition may occur ahead of authorization. The root cause is a non-fa...

CVE-2026-42487

CVE-2026-42487 concerns the Xen hypervisor’s handling of x86 HVM I/O port list traversal. The root cause stated in the sources is that traversal of the linked list used for guest I/O port accesses requires synchronization with updates to the translation/mapping (XEN_DOMCTL_ioport_mapping), but th...
