CVE-2017-14319 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
A grant unmapping issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x. When removing or replacing a grant mapping, the x86 PV specific path needs to make sure page table entries remain in sync with other accounting done. Although the identity of the page frame was validated correctly, neither the presence of the mapping nor page writability were taken into account.
CVE-2018-19961 3 Citrix, Debian, Xen 3 Xenserver, Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x on AMD x86 platforms, possibly allowing guest OS users to gain host OS privileges because TLB flushes do not always occur after IOMMU mapping changes.
CVE-2017-7228 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 8.2 HIGH
An issue (known as XSA-212) was discovered in Xen, with fixes available for 4.8.x, 4.7.x, 4.6.x, 4.5.x, and 4.4.x. The earlier XSA-29 fix introduced an insufficient check on XENMEM_exchange input, allowing the caller to drive hypervisor memory accesses outside of the guest provided input/output arrays.
CVE-2018-15468 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 4.9 MEDIUM 6.0 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x. The DEBUGCTL MSR contains several debugging features, some of which virtualise cleanly, but some do not. In particular, Branch Trace Store is not virtualised by the processor, and software has to be careful to configure it suitably not to lock up the core. As a result, it must only be available to fully trusted guests. Unfortunately, in the case that vPMU is disabled, all value checking was skipped, allowing the guest to choose any MSR_DEBUGCTL setting it likes. A malicious or buggy guest administrator (on Intel x86 HVM or PVH) can lock up the entire host, causing a Denial of Service.
CVE-2017-8904 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
Xen through 4.8.x mishandles the "contains segment descriptors" property during GNTTABOP_transfer (aka guest transfer) operations, which might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, aka XSA-214.
CVE-2018-8897 8 Apple, Canonical, Citrix and 5 more 11 Mac Os X, Ubuntu Linux, Xenserver and 8 more 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A statement in the System Programming Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual (SDM) was mishandled in the development of some or all operating-system kernels, resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB exceptions that are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS, as demonstrated by (for example) privilege escalation in Windows, macOS, some Xen configurations, or FreeBSD, or a Linux kernel crash. The MOV to SS and POP SS instructions inhibit interrupts (including NMIs), data breakpoints, and single step trap exceptions until the instruction boundary following the next instruction (SDM Vol. 3A; section 6.8.3). (The inhibited data breakpoints are those on memory accessed by the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction itself.) Note that debug exceptions are not inhibited by the interrupt enable (EFLAGS.IF) system flag (SDM Vol. 3A; section 2.3). If the instruction following the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction is an instruction like SYSCALL, SYSENTER, INT 3, etc. that transfers control to the operating system at CPL < 3, the debug exception is delivered after the transfer to CPL < 3 is complete. OS kernels may not expect this order of events and may therefore experience unexpected behavior when it occurs.
CVE-2018-7541 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 6.1 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or gain privileges by triggering a grant-table transition from v2 to v1.
CVE-2018-19962 3 Citrix, Debian, Xen 3 Xenserver, Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x on AMD x86 platforms, possibly allowing guest OS users to gain host OS privileges because small IOMMU mappings are unsafely combined into larger ones.
CVE-2018-12893 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 2.1 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x. One of the fixes in XSA-260 added some safety checks to help prevent Xen livelocking with debug exceptions. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, at least one of these safety checks can be triggered by a guest. A malicious PV guest can crash Xen, leading to a Denial of Service. All Xen systems which have applied the XSA-260 fix are vulnerable. Only x86 systems are vulnerable. ARM systems are not vulnerable. Only x86 PV guests can exploit the vulnerability. x86 HVM and PVH guests cannot exploit the vulnerability. An attacker needs to be able to control hardware debugging facilities to exploit the vulnerability, but such permissions are typically available to unprivileged users.
CVE-2018-10981 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 4.9 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS infinite loop) in situations where a QEMU device model attempts to make invalid transitions between states of a request.
CVE-2018-10982 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (unexpectedly high interrupt number, array overrun, and hypervisor crash) or possibly gain hypervisor privileges by setting up an HPET timer to deliver interrupts in IO-APIC mode, aka vHPET interrupt injection.
CVE-2017-8905 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
Xen through 4.6.x on 64-bit platforms mishandles a failsafe callback, which might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, aka XSA-215.
CVE-2017-15593 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 4.9 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory leak) because reference counts are mishandled.
CVE-2017-15594 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 4.6 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 SVM PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or gain privileges because IDT settings are mishandled during CPU hotplugging.
CVE-2017-15592 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges because self-linear shadow mappings are mishandled for translated guests.
CVE-2018-12891 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-10-02 4.9 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x. Certain PV MMU operations may take a long time to process. For that reason Xen explicitly checks for the need to preempt the current vCPU at certain points. A few rarely taken code paths did bypass such checks. By suitably enforcing the conditions through its own page table contents, a malicious guest may cause such bypasses to be used for an unbounded number of iterations. A malicious or buggy PV guest may cause a Denial of Service (DoS) affecting the entire host. Specifically, it may prevent use of a physical CPU for an indeterminate period of time. All Xen versions from 3.4 onwards are vulnerable. Xen versions 3.3 and earlier are vulnerable to an even wider class of attacks, due to them lacking preemption checks altogether in the affected code paths. Only x86 systems are affected. ARM systems are not affected. Only multi-vCPU x86 PV guests can leverage the vulnerability. x86 HVM or PVH guests as well as x86 single-vCPU PV ones cannot leverage the vulnerability.
CVE-2017-8903 1 Xen 1 Xen 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Xen through 4.8.x on 64-bit platforms mishandles page tables after an IRET hypercall, which might allow PV guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, aka XSA-213.
CVE-2015-8553 2 Redhat, Xen 2 Enterprise Linux, Xen 2019-08-13 2.1 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
Xen allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized locations in host OS kernel memory by not enabling memory and I/O decoding control bits. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-0777.
CVE-2017-12136 3 Citrix, Debian, Xen 3 Xenserver, Debian Linux, Xen 2019-05-06 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Race condition in the grant table code in Xen 4.6.x through 4.9.x allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (free list corruption and host crash) or gain privileges on the host via vectors involving maptrack free list handling.
CVE-2018-19967 2 Debian, Xen 2 Debian Linux, Xen 2019-04-17 4.9 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x on Intel x86 platforms allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS hang) because Xen does not work around Intel's mishandling of certain HLE transactions associated with the KACQUIRE instruction prefix.
