Descriptions

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.

It was discovered that the code to validate level 2 page table entries is bypassed when certain conditions are satisfied. A malicious PV guest administrator can take advantage of this flaw to gain privileges via a crafted superpage mapping.
