CVE-2026-42492

Xenstore, to have an up-to-date picture of the entire system, wants to know of domains appearing and disappearing. To make this more robust, a new XENDOMCTLgetdomainstate was introduced. The management of the bitmap underlying that operation is tied into the binding of the VIRQDOMEXC virtual IRQ...

CVE-2026-62434

CVE-2026-62434 affects Xen-based environments where a guest with Populated on Demand (PoD) enabled can reclaim non-regular guest RAM pages, potentially corrupting the guest memory management state. The issue is described consistently across NVD/NVD-linked entries and corroborated by multiple vend...

CVE-2026-62434

A guest started with Populated on Demand enabled PoD can attempt to reclaim pages which aren't regular guest RAM. This can cause corruption of memory management state in Xen...

CVE-2026-62430

Accesses to the CMOS memory contents are done using an indirect IO port pair. Therefore Xen needs to cache the guest chosen index, and one of the usages of the index didn't take the necessary locking to avoid concurrent changes. As a result, a guest could change the index after it being checked,...

vNUMA domain cleanup may race other operations

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Accessing the vNUMA configuration data of a guest is still possible when domain destruction has already started. The cleaning up of that configuration information is not synchronized with its retrieval by a device model controlling the guest. IMPACT While Denial of Service DoS...

x86 shadow paging is deprecated

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Addressing certain issues, in particular related to operations which may take excessively long and therefore would need preemption, has turned out overly costly. Since alternatives HVM/PVH: HAP, PV: shim are commonly available, the decision was to deprecate the functionality,...

PoD: Don't try to reclaim special pages

ISSUE DESCRIPTION A guest started with Populated on Demand enabled PoD can attempt to reclaim pages which aren't regular guest RAM. This can cause corruption of memory management state in Xen. IMPACT A buggy or malicious guest can cause corruption of Xen's state, leading to crashes or other...

evtchn: Race between FIFO expand and reset

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The EVTCHNOPexpandarray hypercall checks for whether FIFO event channels are enabled, but without holding the correct lock. It can race with EVTCHNOPreset, resulting in dereferencing a NULL pointer. IMPACT A malicious HVM guest x86 HVM or PVH, and ARM can crash Xen leading to a...

Therefore Xen needs to cache the guest chosen index, and one of the usages of the index didn't take the necessary locking to avoid concurrent changes. As a result, a guest could change the index after ...

grant-table: type confusion in grant-copy

ISSUE DESCRIPTION When grant-copy operations are processed, the respective grant may or may not already be in use by another operation a mapping or another copy. For all copy operations the referenced guest frame is looked up. When another operation is already active for the grant the grant is...

sysctl and platform-op locks open to abuse

ISSUE DESCRIPTION To manage the system, sysctl and platform operations are used by the control domain or a possible Xenstore domain. Some of these operations may not be executed in parallel, so a system-wide lock each is used. The way those locks are acquired is, however, not providing any...

Viridian STIMER division by zero

ISSUE DESCRIPTION The logic to handle periodic Viridian STIMERs performs a division with an unchecked user-controlled divisor value, that can be set to zero to cause a DE fault. IMPACT Enabling Viridian STIMERs to unprivileged HVM guests can result in a Denial of Service DoS affecting the entire...

grant-table: version change racing with other operations

ISSUE DESCRIPTION With the introduction of Grant Table v2 came the requirement to be able to switch between versions. Switching from v1 to v2 reduces the number of valid grant references, as a bigger shared entry structure is then needed while the shared table doesn't change size. Switching from ...
