e6ce6f50-4212-11e6-942d-bc5ff45d0f28 | xen-tools -- QEMU: Banked access to VGA memory (VBE) uses inconsistent bounds checks
The Xen Project reports:
Qemu VGA module allows banked access to video memory using the
window at 0xa00000 and it supports different access modes with
different address calculations.
Qemu VGA module allows guest to edit certain registers in 'vbe'
and 'vga' modes.
A privileged guest user could use CVE-2016-3710 to exceed the bank
address window and write beyond the said memory area, potentially
leading to arbitrary code execution with privileges of the Qemu
process. If the system is not using stubdomains, this will be in
domain 0.
A privileged guest user could use CVE-2016-3712 to cause potential
integer overflow or OOB read access issues in Qemu, resulting in a DoS
of the guest itself. More dangerous effect, such as data leakage or
code execution, are not known but cannot be ruled out.

The Xen Project reports:
Various parts of libxl device-handling code inappropriately use
information from (partially) guest controlled areas of xenstore.
A malicious guest administrator can cause denial of service by
resource exhaustion.
A malicious guest administrator can confuse and/or deny service to
management facilities.
A malicious guest administrator of a guest configured with channel

5d1d4473-b40d-11e5-9728-002590263bf5 | xen-tools -- libxl leak of pv kernel and initrd on error
The Xen Project reports:
When constructing a guest which is configured to use a PV
bootloader which runs as a userspace process in the toolstack domain
(e.g. pygrub) libxl creates a mapping of the files to be used as
kernel and initial ramdisk when building the guest domain.
However if building the domain subsequently fails these mappings
would not be released leading to a leak of virtual address space in
the calling process, as well as preventing the recovery of the
temporary disk files containing the kernel and initial ramdisk.
For toolstacks which manage multiple domains within the same
process, an attacker who is able to repeatedly start a suitable
domain (or many such domains) can cause an out-of-memory condition in the
toolstack process, leading to a denial of service.
Under the same circumstances an attacker can also cause files to
accumulate on the toolstack domain filesystem (usually under /var in
dom0) used to temporarily store the kernel and initial ramdisk,
perhaps leading to a denial of service against arbitrary other
services using that filesystem.

e800cd4b-4212-11e6-942d-bc5ff45d0f28 | xen-tools -- Unrestricted qemu logging
The Xen Project reports:
When the libxl toolstack launches qemu for HVM guests, it pipes the
output of stderr to a file in /var/log/xen. This output is not
rate-limited in any way. The guest can easily cause qemu to print
messages to stderr, causing this file to become arbitrarily large.
The disk containing the logfile can be exhausted, possibly causing a
denial-of-service (DoS).

405446f4-b1b3-11e5-9728-002590263bf5 | qemu and xen-tools -- denial of service vulnerabilities in AMD PC-Net II NIC support
Prasad J Pandit, Red Hat Product Security Team, reports:
Qemu emulator built with the AMD PC-Net II Ethernet Controller
support is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow flaw. While
receiving packets in the loopback mode, it appends CRC code to the
receive buffer. If the data size given is same as the receive buffer
size, the appended CRC code overwrites 4 bytes beyond this
's->buffer' array.
A privileged(CAP_SYS_RAWIO) user inside guest could use this flaw
to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS or potentially execute
arbitrary code with privileges of the Qemu process on the host.
The AMD PC-Net II emulator(hw/net/pcnet.c), while receiving packets
from a remote host(non-loopback mode), fails to validate the
received data size, thus resulting in a buffer overflow issue. It
could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution on the host, with
privileges of the Qemu process. It requires the guest NIC to have
larger MTU limit.
A remote user could use this flaw to crash the guest instance
resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on a remote
host with privileges of the Qemu process.

The Xen Project reports:
A guest can submit virtio requests without bothering to wait for
completion and is therefore not bound by virtqueue size...
A malicious guest administrator can cause unbounded memory
allocation in QEMU, which can cause an Out-of-Memory condition
in the domain running qemu. Thus, a malicious guest administrator
can cause a denial of service affecting the whole host.

301b04d7-881c-11e5-ab94-002590263bf5 | xen-tools -- libxl fails to honour readonly flag on disks with qemu-xen
The Xen Project reports:
Callers of libxl can specify that a disk should be read-only to the
guest. However, there is no code in libxl to pass this information
to qemu-xen (the upstream-based qemu); and indeed there is no way in
qemu to make a disk read-only.
The vulnerability is exploitable only via devices emulated by the
device model, not the parallel PV devices for supporting PVHVM.
Normally the PVHVM device unplug protocol renders the emulated
devices inaccessible early in boot.
Malicious guest administrators or (in some situations) users may be
able to write to supposedly read-only disk images.
CDROM devices (that is, devices specified to be presented to the
guest as CDROMs, regardless of the nature of the backing storage on
the host) are not affected.

58685e23-ba4d-11e6-ae1b-002590263bf5 | xen-tools -- qemu incautious about shared ring processing
The Xen Project reports:
The compiler can emit optimizations in qemu which can lead to
double fetch vulnerabilities. Specifically data on the rings shared
between qemu and the hypervisor (which the guest under control can
obtain mappings of) can be fetched twice (during which time the
guest can alter the contents) possibly leading to arbitrary code
execution in qemu.
Malicious administrators can exploit this vulnerability to take
over the qemu process, elevating its privilege to that of the qemu
process.
In a system not using a device model stub domain (or other
techniques for deprivileging qemu), malicious guest administrators
can thus elevate their privilege to that of the host.

The Xen Project reports:
The QEMU model of the RTL8139 network card did not sufficiently
validate inputs in the C+ mode offload emulation. This results in
uninitialized memory from the QEMU process's heap being leaked to

A guest may be able to read sensitive host-level data relating to
itself which resides in the QEMU process.
Such information may include things such as information relating to
real devices backing emulated devices or passwords which the host
administrator does not intend to share with the guest admin.
