CVE-2015-8104 – virt: guest to host DoS by triggering an infinite loop in microcode via #DB exception
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-8104
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 #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c. El subsistema KVM en el kernel Linux hasta la versión 4.2.6, y Xen 4.3.x hasta la versión 4.6.x permite a usuarios del SO invitados causar una denegación de servicio (panic en el host del SO o cuelgue) desencadenando muchas excepciones #DB (también conocidas como Debug), relacionadas con svm.c. It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack inside a virtualized environment in the form of an infinite loop in the microcode due to the way (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as #DB (debug exception) is handled. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to create denial of service conditions on the host kernel. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cbdb967af3d54993f5814f1cee0ed311a055377d http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/172187.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/172300.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/172435.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-11/msg00035.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-12/msg00005.html http:/ • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •

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-2015-7969
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-7969
Multiple memory leaks in Xen 4.0 through 4.6.x allow local guest administrators or domains with certain permission to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of "teardowns" of domains with the vcpu pointer array allocated using the (1) XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus hypercall or the xenoprofile state vcpu pointer array allocated using the (2) XENOPROF_get_buffer or (3) XENOPROF_set_passive hypercall. Fugas de memoria múltiples en Xen 4.0 hasta la versión 4.6.x permite a administradores locales invitados o dominios con cierto permiso provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de un gran número de 'desensamblajes' de dominios con el array de punteros vcpu asignados utilizando (1) la hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus o el array de punteros vcpu asignados en el estado xenoprofile utilizando la hypercall (2) XENOPROF_get_buffer o (3) XENOPROF_set_passive . • http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171082.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171185.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171249.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-11/msg00063.html http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202404 http://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3414 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/77364 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1034033 http://xenbits. • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors •
CVE-2015-7835
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-7835
The mod_l2_entry function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen 3.4 through 4.6.x does not properly validate level 2 page table entries, which allows local PV guest administrators to gain privileges via a crafted superpage mapping. La función mod_l2_entry en arch/x86/mm.c en Xen 3.4 hasta la versión 4.6.x no valida correctamente las entradas de la tabla de paginación de nivel 2, lo que permite a administradores invitados PV locales obtener privilegios a través de un mapeo de superpage manipulado. • http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171082.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171185.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171249.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-11/msg00063.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-12/msg00053.html http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202404 http://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3390 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/773 • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation CWE-264: Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls •
CVE-2015-7970
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-7970
The p2m_pod_emergency_sweep function in arch/x86/mm/p2m-pod.c in Xen 3.4.x, 3.5.x, and 3.6.x is not preemptible, which allows local x86 HVM guest administrators to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and possibly reboot) via crafted memory contents that triggers a "time-consuming linear scan," related to Populate-on-Demand. La función p2m_pod_emergency_sweep en arch/x86/mm/p2m-pod.c en Xen 3.4.x, 3.5,x y 3.6.x no es preferente, lo que permite a administradores invitados x86 HVM locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU y posiblemente reinicio) a través de contenidos de memoria manipulados que desencadena un 'time-consuming linear scan', relacionado con Populate-on-Demand. • http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171082.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171185.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/171249.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-12/msg00053.html http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202404 http://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3414 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/77362 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1034034 http://xenbits. • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors •
