An update that solves 26 vulnerabilities and has 16 fixes
is now available.
Description:
This update for xen fixes the several issues.
These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2014-3672: The qemu implementation in libvirt Xen allowed local
guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host disk consumption) by
writing to stdout or stderr (bsc#981264).
- CVE-2016-3158: The xrstor function did not properly handle writes to the
hardware FSW.ES bit when running on AMD64 processors, which allowed
local guest OS users to obtain sensitive register content information
from another guest by leveraging pending exception and mask bits
(bsc#973188).
- CVE-2016-3159: The fpu_fxrstor function in arch/x86/i387.c did not
properly handle writes to the hardware FSW.ES bit when running on AMD64
processors, which allowed local guest OS users to obtain sensitive
register content information from another guest by leveraging pending
exception and mask bits (bsc#973188).
- CVE-2016-3710: The VGA module improperly performed bounds checking on
banked access to video memory, which allowed local guest OS
administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access
modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue
(bsc#978164).
- CVE-2016-3960: Integer overflow in the x86 shadow pagetable code allowed
local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host crash) or
possibly gain privileges by shadowing a superpage mapping (bsc#974038).
- CVE-2016-4001: Buffer overflow in the stellaris_enet_receive function,
when the Stellaris ethernet controller is configured to accept large
packets, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (QEMU
crash) via a large packet (bsc#975130).
- CVE-2016-4002: Buffer overflow in the mipsnet_receive function, when the
guest NIC is configured to accept large packets, allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and QEMU
crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a packet larger than 1514
bytes (bsc#975138).
- CVE-2016-4020: The patch_instruction function did not initialize the
imm32 variable, which allowed local guest OS administrators to obtain
sensitive information from host stack memory by accessing the Task
Priority Register (TPR) (bsc#975907).
- CVE-2016-4037: The ehci_advance_state function in hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c
allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
(infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a circular split isochronous
transfer descriptor (siTD) list (bsc#976111).
- CVE-2016-4439: The esp_reg_write function in the 53C9X Fast SCSI
Controller (FSC) support did not properly check command buffer length,
which allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) or potentially execute
arbitrary code on the host via unspecified vectors (bsc#980716).
- CVE-2016-4441: The get_cmd function in the 53C9X Fast SCSI Controller
(FSC) support did not properly check DMA length, which allowed local
guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
write and QEMU process crash) via unspecified vectors, involving an SCSI
command (bsc#980724).
- CVE-2016-4453: The vmsvga_fifo_run function allowed local guest OS
administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU
process crash) via a VGA command (bsc#982225).
- CVE-2016-4454: The vmsvga_fifo_read_raw function allowed local guest OS
administrators to obtain sensitive host memory information or cause a
denial of service (QEMU process crash) by changing FIFO registers and
issuing a VGA command, which triggered an out-of-bounds read
(bsc#982224).
- CVE-2016-4952: Out-of-bounds access issue in pvsci_ring_init_msg/data
routines (bsc#981276).
- CVE-2016-4962: The libxl device-handling allowed local OS guest
administrators to cause a denial of service (resource consumption or
management facility confusion) or gain host OS privileges by
manipulating information in guest controlled areas of xenstore
(bsc#979620).
- CVE-2016-4963: The libxl device-handling allowed local guest OS users
with access to the driver domain to cause a denial of service
(management tool confusion) by manipulating information in the backend
directories in xenstore (bsc#979670).
- CVE-2016-5105: Stack information leakage while reading configuration
(bsc#982024).
- CVE-2016-5106: Out-of-bounds write while setting controller properties
(bsc#982025).
- CVE-2016-5107: Out-of-bounds read in megasas_lookup_frame() function
(bsc#982026).
- CVE-2016-5126: Heap-based buffer overflow in the iscsi_aio_ioctl
function allowed local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (QEMU
process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted iSCSI
asynchronous I/O ioctl call (bsc#982286).
- CVE-2016-5238: The get_cmd function in hw/scsi/esp.c might have allowed
local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) via vectors related to
reading from the information transfer buffer in non-DMA mode
(bsc#982960).
- CVE-2016-5337: The megasas_ctrl_get_info function allowed local guest OS
administrators to obtain sensitive host memory information via vectors
related to reading device control information (bsc#983973).
- CVE-2016-5338: The (1) esp_reg_read and (2) esp_reg_write functions
allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (QEMU
process crash) or execute arbitrary code on the host via vectors related
to the information transfer buffer (bsc#983984).
- CVE-2016-6258: Potential privilege escalation in PV guests (XSA-182)
(bsc#988675).
- bsc#978295: x86 software guest page walk PS bit handling flaw (XSA-176)
- CVE-2016-5403: virtio: unbounded memory allocation on host via guest
leading to DoS (XSA-184) (bsc#990923)
