USN-5633-1 linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-raspi vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2021-33655 Duoming...

USN-5579-1 linux, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

Roger Pau Monné discovered that the Xen virtual block driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory pages to be used for shared communication with the backend. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information guest kernel memory. CVE-2022-26365 Roger Pau Monné...

GSD-2022-1004925 xen/blkfront: force data bouncing when backend is untrusted

xen/blkfront: force data bouncing when backend is untrusted This is an automated ID intended to aid in discovery of potential security vulnerabilities. The actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven. This ID is fixed in Linux Kernel version v4.9.322 by commit...

CVE-2022-36123

The Linux kernel before 5.18.13 lacks a certain clear operation for the block starting symbol .bss. This allows Xen PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges...

ALPINE-CVE-2022-33745

insufficient TLB flush for x86 PV guests in shadow mode For migration as well as to work around kernels unaware of L1TF see XSA-273, PV guests may be run in shadow paging mode. To address XSA-401, code was moved inside a function in Xen. This code movement missed a variable changing meaning / val...

CVE-2022-26364

x86 pv: Insufficient care with non-coherent mappings This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE. Xen maintains a type reference count for pages, in addition to a regular reference count. This scheme is used to...

USN-5418-1 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe, linux-azure, linux-azure-4.15, linux-dell300x, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities

Ke Sun, Alyssa Milburn, Henrique Kawakami, Emma Benoit, Igor Chervatyuk, Lisa Aichele, and Thais Moreira Hamasaki discovered that the Spectre Variant 2 mitigations for AMD processors on Linux were insufficient in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive...

Important: kernel

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free memory flaw was found in the perf subsystem allowing a local attacker with permission to monitor perf events to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data...

CVE-2022-23034

A PV guest could DoS Xen while unmapping a grant To address XSA-380, reference counting was introduced for grant mappings for the case where a PV guest would have the IOMMU enabled. PV guests can request two forms of mappings. When both are in use for any individual mapping, unmapping of such a...

CVE-2021-28697

grant table v2 status pages may remain accessible after de-allocation Guest get permitted access to certain Xen-owned pages of memory. The majority of such pages remain allocated / associated with a guest for its entire lifetime. Grant table v2 status pages, however, get de-allocated when a guest...

CVE-2021-28692

inappropriate x86 IOMMU timeout detection / handling IOMMUs process commands issued to them in parallel with the operation of the CPUs issuing such commands. In the current implementation in Xen, asynchronous notification of the completion of such commands is not used. Instead, the issuing CPU...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-28039

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.9.x through 5.11.3, as used with Xen. In some less-common configurations, an x86 PV guest OS user can crash a Dom0 or driver domain via a large amount of I/O activity. The issue relates to misuse of guest physical addresses when a configuration has...
