CVE-2018-15469
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-15469
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x. ARM never properly implemented grant table v2, either in the hypervisor or in Linux. Unfortunately, an ARM guest can still request v2 grant tables; they will simply not be properly set up, resulting in subsequent grant-related hypercalls hitting BUG() checks. An unprivileged guest can cause a BUG() check in the hypervisor, resulting in a denial-of-service (crash). Se ha descubierto un problema en Xen hasta las versiones 4.11.x. • http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-268.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/11/msg00013.html https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201810-06 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
CVE-2018-14678
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-14678
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. Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.17.11, tal y como se utiliza en Xen hasta las versiones 4.11.x. El punto de entrada de xen_failsafe_callback en arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S no mantiene correctamente el RBX, lo que permite a los usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria no inicializada y cierre inesperado del sistema). • http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/104924 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1041397 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/10/msg00003.html https://usn.ubuntu.com/3931-1 https://usn.ubuntu.com/3931-2 https://www.debian.org/security/2018/dsa-4308 https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-274.html • CWE-665: Improper Initialization •
