1 CVE-2018-18883 476 DoS 2018-10-31 2019-01-24
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
An issue was discovered in Xen 4.9.x through 4.11.x, on Intel x86 platforms, allowing x86 HVM and PVH guests to cause a host OS denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact because nested VT-x is not properly restricted.
2 CVE-2018-14678 264 DoS +Priv 2018-07-28 2018-10-04
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
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.
3 CVE-2018-10982 264 DoS +Priv 2018-05-10 2018-10-31
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.10.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (unexpectedly high interrupt number, array overrun, and hypervisor crash) or possibly gain hypervisor privileges by setting up an HPET timer to deliver interrupts in IO-APIC mode, aka vHPET interrupt injection.
4 CVE-2018-8897 264 2018-05-08 2019-01-03
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
A statement in the System Programming Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual (SDM) was mishandled in the development of some or all operating-system kernels, resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB exceptions that are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS, as demonstrated by (for example) privilege escalation in Windows, macOS, some Xen configurations, or FreeBSD, or a Linux kernel crash. The MOV to SS and POP SS instructions inhibit interrupts (including NMIs), data breakpoints, and single step trap exceptions until the instruction boundary following the next instruction (SDM Vol. 3A; section 6.8.3). (The inhibited data breakpoints are those on memory accessed by the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction itself.) Note that debug exceptions are not inhibited by the interrupt enable (EFLAGS.IF) system flag (SDM Vol. 3A; section 2.3). If the instruction following the MOV to SS or POP to SS instruction is an instruction like SYSCALL, SYSENTER, INT 3, etc. that transfers control to the operating system at CPL < 3, the debug exception is delivered after the transfer to CPL < 3 is complete. OS kernels may not expect this order of events and may therefore experience unexpected behavior when it occurs.
5 CVE-2017-17045 264 DoS +Priv +Info 2017-11-28 2018-10-30
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing HVM guest OS users to gain privileges on the host OS, obtain sensitive information, or cause a denial of service (BUG and host OS crash) by leveraging the mishandling of Populate on Demand (PoD) Physical-to-Machine (P2M) errors.
6 CVE-2017-15595 400 DoS +Priv 2017-10-18 2018-10-30
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service (unbounded recursion, stack consumption, and hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges via crafted page-table stacking.
7 CVE-2017-15592 264 DoS +Priv 2017-10-18 2018-10-30
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x allowing x86 HVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service (hypervisor crash) or possibly gain privileges because self-linear shadow mappings are mishandled for translated guests.
8 CVE-2017-14319 264 2017-09-12 2018-10-19
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
A grant unmapping issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x. When removing or replacing a grant mapping, the x86 PV specific path needs to make sure page table entries remain in sync with other accounting done. Although the identity of the page frame was validated correctly, neither the presence of the mapping nor page writability were taken into account.
9 CVE-2017-14316 125 2017-09-12 2018-10-19
7.2
 None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
A parameter verification issue was discovered in Xen through 4.9.x. The function `alloc_heap_pages` allows callers to specify the first NUMA node that should be used for allocations through the `memflags` parameter; the node is extracted using the `MEMF_get_node` macro. While the function checks to see if the special constant `NUMA_NO_NODE` is specified, it otherwise does not handle the case where `node >= MAX_NUMNODES`. This allows an out-of-bounds access to an internal array.
10 CVE-2017-12137 264 +Priv 2017-08-24 2018-01-15
7.2

An issue (known as XSA-212) was discovered in Xen, with fixes available for 4.8.x, 4.7.x, 4.6.x, 4.5.x, and 4.4.x. The earlier XSA-29 fix introduced an insufficient check on XENMEM_exchange input, allowing the caller to drive hypervisor memory accesses outside of the guest provided input/output arrays.
