Descriptions
The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86 system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allows local guest administrators to generate a continuous stream of WARN messages and cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by leveraging a system with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical PCI device and XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi operations, aka "Linux pciback missing sanity checks."
El controlador backend PCI en Xen, cuando se ejecuta en un sistema x86 y utiliza Linux 3.1.x hasta la versión 4.3.x como dominio de controlador, permite a administradores locales invitados generar un flujo continuo de mensajes WARN y provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de disco) aprovechando un sistema con acceso a un dispositivo físico PCI capaz de pasar a través de MSI o MSI-X y operaciones XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi, también conocido como "Lenux pciback missing sanity checks".
Felix Wilhelm discovered a race condition in the Xen paravirtualized drivers which can cause double fetch vulnerabilities. An attacker in the paravirtualized guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash the host) or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk discovered the Xen PCI backend driver does not perform sanity checks on the device's state. An attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference) on the host. Various other issues were also addressed.
