x86: Speculative vulnerabilities with bare (non-shim) 32-bit PV guests 32-bit x86 PV guest kernels run in ring 1. At the time when Xen was developed, this area of the i386 architecture was rarely used, which is why Xen was able to use it to implement paravirtualisation, Xen's novel approach to virtualization. In AMD64, Xen had to use a different implementation approach, so Xen does not use ring 1 to support 64-bit guests. With the focus now being on 64-bit systems, and the availability of explicit hardware support for virtualization, fixing speculation issues in ring 1 is not a priority for processor companies. Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) is an architectural x86 extension put together to combat speculative execution sidechannel attacks, including Spectre v2. • https://xenbits.xenproject.org/xsa/advisory-370.txt • CWE-212: Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer •

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.11.x, allowing x86 Intel HVM guest OS users to achieve unintended read/write DMA access, and possibly cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or gain privileges. This occurs because a backport missed a flush, and thus IOMMU updates were not always correct. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-15565. Se detectó un problema en Xen versiones hasta 4.11.x, permitiendo a usuarios del Sistema Operativo invitado x86 Intel HVM obtener acceso DMA de lectura y escritura no previsto y posiblemente causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo del Sistema Operativo host) o alcanzar privilegios. Esto ocurre porque un backport no se descargó y, por lo tanto, las actualizaciones de IOMMU no siempre fueron correctas. • http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/02/23/1 http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-366.html https://www.debian.org/security/2021/dsa-4888 https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-366.html •

An issue was discovered in Xen 4.9 through 4.14.x. On Arm, a guest is allowed to control whether memory accesses are bypassing the cache. This means that Xen needs to ensure that all writes (such as the ones during scrubbing) have reached the memory before handing over the page to a guest. Unfortunately, the operation to clean the cache is happening before checking if the page was scrubbed. Therefore there is no guarantee when all the writes will reach the memory. • http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-364.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4GELN5E6MDR5KQBJF5M5COUUED3YFZTD https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EOAJBVAVR6RSCUCHNXPVSNRPSFM7INMP https://www.debian.org/security/2021/dsa-4888 •

An issue was discovered in Xen 4.12.3 through 4.12.4 and 4.13.1 through 4.14.x. An x86 HVM guest with PCI pass through devices can force the allocation of all IDT vectors on the system by rebooting itself with MSI or MSI-X capabilities enabled and entries setup. Such reboots will leak any vectors used by the MSI(-X) entries that the guest might had enabled, and hence will lead to vector exhaustion on the system, not allowing further PCI pass through devices to work properly. HVM guests with PCI pass through devices can mount a Denial of Service (DoS) attack affecting the pass through of PCI devices to other guests or the hardware domain. In the latter case, this would affect the entire host. • http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/01/26/4 http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-360.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/S5C42TMQYB6SDVT2MPFEWY65A6RSUVBN https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202107-30 •

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. Nodes in xenstore have an ownership. In oxenstored, a owner could give a node away. However, node ownership has quota implications. Any guest can run another guest out of quota, or create an unbounded number of nodes owned by dom0, thus running xenstored out of memory A malicious guest administrator can cause a denial of service against a specific guest or against the whole host. • https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/2C6M6S3CIMEBACH6O7V4H2VDANMO6TVA https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OBLV6L6Q24PPQ2CRFXDX4Q76KU776GKI https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202107-30 https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4812 https://xenbits.xenproject.org/xsa/advisory-352.html • CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
