CVE-2020-15565 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Opensuse and 1 more 4 Debian Linux, Fedora, Leap and 1 more 2023-03-03 6.1 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.13.x, allowing x86 Intel HVM guest OS users to cause a host OS denial of service or possibly gain privileges because of insufficient cache write-back under VT-d. When page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, changes to them require flushing of both TLBs. Furthermore, IOMMUs may be non-coherent, and hence prior to flushing IOMMU TLBs, a CPU cache also needs writing back to memory after changes were made. Such writing back of cached data was missing in particular when splitting large page mappings into smaller granularity ones. A malicious guest may be able to retain read/write DMA access to frames returned to Xen's free pool, and later reused for another purpose. Host crashes (leading to a Denial of Service) and privilege escalation cannot be ruled out. Xen versions from at least 3.2 onwards are affected. Only x86 Intel systems are affected. x86 AMD as well as Arm systems are not affected. Only x86 HVM guests using hardware assisted paging (HAP), having a passed through PCI device assigned, and having page table sharing enabled can leverage the vulnerability. Note that page table sharing will be enabled (by default) only if Xen considers IOMMU and CPU large page size support compatible.
CVE-2018-14678 4 Canonical, Debian, Linux and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel and 1 more 2023-02-24 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11, as used in Xen through 4.11.x. The xen_failsafe_callback entry point in arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S does not properly maintain RBX, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory usage and system crash). Within Xen, 64-bit x86 PV Linux guest OS users can trigger a guest OS crash or possibly gain privileges.
CVE-2022-29901 5 Debian, Fedoraproject, Intel and 2 more 254 Debian Linux, Fedora, Core I3-6100 and 251 more 2023-02-23 1.9 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.
CVE-2019-18420 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Xen 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Xen 2023-02-22 6.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.12.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service via a VCPUOP_initialise hypercall. hypercall_create_continuation() is a variadic function which uses a printf-like format string to interpret its parameters. Error handling for a bad format character was done using BUG(), which crashes Xen. One path, via the VCPUOP_initialise hypercall, has a bad format character. The BUG() can be hit if VCPUOP_initialise executes for a sufficiently long period of time for a continuation to be created. Malicious guests may cause a hypervisor crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Xen versions 4.6 and newer are vulnerable. Xen versions 4.5 and earlier are not vulnerable. Only x86 PV guests can exploit the vulnerability. HVM and PVH guests, and guests on ARM systems, cannot exploit the vulnerability.
CVE-2013-0151 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
The do_hvm_op function in xen/arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in Xen 4.2.x on the x86_32 platform does not prevent HVM_PARAM_NESTEDHVM (aka nested virtualization) operations, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (long-duration page mappings and host OS crash) by leveraging administrative access to an HVM guest in a domain with a large number of VCPUs.
CVE-2012-3515 7 Canonical, Debian, Opensuse and 4 more 14 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Opensuse and 11 more 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
Qemu, as used in Xen 4.0, 4.1 and possibly other products, when emulating certain devices with a virtual console backend, allows local OS guest users to gain privileges via a crafted escape VT100 sequence that triggers the overwrite of a "device model's address space."
CVE-2011-2901 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 5.5 MEDIUM N/A
Off-by-one error in the __addr_ok macro in Xen 3.3 and earlier allows local 64 bit PV guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash) via unspecified hypercalls that ignore virtual-address bits.
CVE-2011-3346 3 Qemu, Redhat, Xen 3 Qemu, Enterprise Linux, Xen 2023-02-12 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
Buffer overflow in hw/scsi-disk.c in the SCSI subsystem in QEMU before 0.15.2, as used by Xen, might allow local guest users with permission to access the CD-ROM to cause a denial of service (guest crash) via a crafted SAI READ CAPACITY SCSI command. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when root has manually modified certain permissions or ACLs.
CVE-2015-7504 3 Debian, Qemu, Xen 3 Debian Linux, Qemu, Xen 2023-02-12 4.6 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
Heap-based buffer overflow in the pcnet_receive function in hw/net/pcnet.c in QEMU allows guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (instance crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a series of packets in loopback mode.
CVE-2015-5154 4 Fedoraproject, Qemu, Suse and 1 more 8 Fedora, Qemu, Linux Enterprise Debuginfo and 5 more 2023-02-12 7.2 HIGH N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in the IDE subsystem in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier, when the container has a CDROM drive enabled, allows local guest users to execute arbitrary code on the host via unspecified ATAPI commands.
CVE-2015-5165 7 Arista, Debian, Fedoraproject and 4 more 24 Eos, Debian Linux, Fedora and 21 more 2023-02-12 9.3 HIGH N/A
The C+ mode offload emulation in the RTL8139 network card device model in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier, allows remote attackers to read process heap memory via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2014-3672 2 Redhat, Xen 2 Libvirt, Xen 2023-02-12 2.1 LOW 6.5 MEDIUM
The qemu implementation in libvirt before 1.3.0 and Xen allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host disk consumption) by writing to stdout or stderr.
CVE-2013-2076 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Xen 4.0.x, 4.1.x, and 4.2.x, when running on AMD64 processors, only save/restore the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an exception is pending, which allows one domain to determine portions of the state of floating point instructions of other domains, which can be leveraged to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2006-1056. NOTE: this is the documented behavior of AMD64 processors, but it is inconsistent with Intel processors in a security-relevant fashion that was not addressed by the kernels.
CVE-2013-4355 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 1.5 LOW N/A
Xen 4.3.x and earlier does not properly handle certain errors, which allows local HVM guests to obtain hypervisor stack memory via a (1) port or (2) memory mapped I/O write or (3) other unspecified operations related to addresses without associated memory.
CVE-2013-0215 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
oxenstored in Xen 4.1.x, Xen 4.2.x, and xen-unstable does not properly consider the state of the Xenstore ring during read operations, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash and host-control outage, or memory consumption) or obtain sensitive control-plane data by leveraging guest administrative access.
CVE-2012-4411 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
The graphical console in Xen 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 allows local OS guest administrators to obtain sensitive host resource information via the qemu monitor. NOTE: this might be a duplicate of CVE-2007-0998.
CVE-2012-5513 1 Xen 1 Xen 2023-02-12 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
The XENMEM_exchange handler in Xen 4.2 and earlier does not properly check the memory address, which allows local PV guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors that overwrite memory in the hypervisor reserved range.
CVE-2017-2615 5 Citrix, Debian, Qemu and 2 more 10 Xenserver, Debian Linux, Qemu and 7 more 2023-02-12 9.0 HIGH 9.1 CRITICAL
Quick emulator (QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur while copying VGA data via bitblt copy in backward mode. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of QEMU process on the host.
CVE-2015-5307 5 Canonical, Debian, Linux and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Kernel and 2 more 2023-02-12 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering many #AC (aka Alignment Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c.
CVE-2020-25597 2 Fedoraproject, Xen 2 Fedora, Xen 2023-02-10 6.1 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. There is mishandling of the constraint that once-valid event channels may not turn invalid. Logic in the handling of event channel operations in Xen assumes that an event channel, once valid, will not become invalid over the life time of a guest. However, operations like the resetting of all event channels may involve decreasing one of the bounds checked when determining validity. This may lead to bug checks triggering, crashing the host. An unprivileged guest may be able to crash Xen, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the entire system. All Xen versions from 4.4 onwards are vulnerable. Xen versions 4.3 and earlier are not vulnerable. Only systems with untrusted guests permitted to create more than the default number of event channels are vulnerable. This number depends on the architecture and type of guest. For 32-bit x86 PV guests, this is 1023; for 64-bit x86 PV guests, and for all ARM guests, this number is 4095. Systems where untrusted guests are limited to fewer than this number are not vulnerable. Note that xl and libxl limit max_event_channels to 1023 by default, so systems using exclusively xl, libvirt+libxl, or their own toolstack based on libxl, and not explicitly setting max_event_channels, are not vulnerable.
