https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-27674
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges by modifying kernel memory contents, because invalidation of TLB entries is mishandled during use of an INVLPG-like attack technique. Se detectó un problema en Xen versiones hasta 4.14.x, permitiendo a usuarios de SO invitado de PV x86 alcanzar privilegios de SO invitado modificando el contenido de la memoria del kernel, porque una invalidación de las entradas TLB es manejada inapropiadamente durante el uso de una técnica de ataque similar a INVLPG • http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/01/19/5 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/PZAM3LYJ5TZLSSNL3KXFILM46QKVTOUA https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/U3U4LNKKXU4UP4Z5XP6TMIWSML3QODPE https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XIK57QJOVOPWH6RFRNMGOBCROBCKMDG2 https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202011-06 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4804 https:/ • CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •
CVE-2020-25603
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-25603
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. There are missing memory barriers when accessing/allocating an event channel. Event channels control structures can be accessed lockless as long as the port is considered to be valid. Such a sequence is missing an appropriate memory barrier (e.g., smp_*mb()) to prevent both the compiler and CPU from re-ordering access. A malicious guest may be able to cause a hypervisor crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00008.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4JRXMKEMQRQYWYEPHVBIWUEAVQ3LU4FN https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DA633Y3G5KX7MKRN4PFEGM3IVTJMBEOM https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RJZERRBJN6E6STDCHT4JHP4MI6TKBCJE https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202011-06 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4769 htt • CWE-670: Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation •
CVE-2020-25596
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-25596
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. x86 PV guest kernels can experience denial of service via SYSENTER. The SYSENTER instruction leaves various state sanitization activities to software. One of Xen's sanitization paths injects a #GP fault, and incorrectly delivers it twice to the guest. This causes the guest kernel to observe a kernel-privilege #GP fault (typically fatal) rather than a user-privilege #GP fault (usually converted into SIGSEGV/etc.). Malicious or buggy userspace can crash the guest kernel, resulting in a VM Denial of Service. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00008.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4JRXMKEMQRQYWYEPHVBIWUEAVQ3LU4FN https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DA633Y3G5KX7MKRN4PFEGM3IVTJMBEOM https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RJZERRBJN6E6STDCHT4JHP4MI6TKBCJE https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202011-06 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4769 htt • CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') •
CVE-2020-25604
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-25604
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. There is a race condition when migrating timers between x86 HVM vCPUs. When migrating timers of x86 HVM guests between its vCPUs, the locking model used allows for a second vCPU of the same guest (also operating on the timers) to release a lock that it didn't acquire. The most likely effect of the issue is a hang or crash of the hypervisor, i.e., a Denial of Service (DoS). All versions of Xen are affected. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00008.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4JRXMKEMQRQYWYEPHVBIWUEAVQ3LU4FN https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DA633Y3G5KX7MKRN4PFEGM3IVTJMBEOM https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RJZERRBJN6E6STDCHT4JHP4MI6TKBCJE https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202011-06 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4769 htt • CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') •
CVE-2020-25602
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-25602
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. An x86 PV guest can trigger a host OS crash when handling guest access to MSR_MISC_ENABLE. When a guest accesses certain Model Specific Registers, Xen first reads the value from hardware to use as the basis for auditing the guest access. For the MISC_ENABLE MSR, which is an Intel specific MSR, this MSR read is performed without error handling for a #GP fault, which is the consequence of trying to read this MSR on non-Intel hardware. A buggy or malicious PV guest administrator can crash Xen, resulting in a host Denial of Service. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00008.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4JRXMKEMQRQYWYEPHVBIWUEAVQ3LU4FN https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DA633Y3G5KX7MKRN4PFEGM3IVTJMBEOM https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RJZERRBJN6E6STDCHT4JHP4MI6TKBCJE https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202011-06 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4769 htt • CWE-755: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions •
