Summary

The vmxnet_tx_pkt_parse_headers function in hw/net/vmxnet_tx_pkt.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) by leveraging failure to check IP header length.

    descriptionThis update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed : - CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785) - CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS administrators to overwrite hypervisor memory and consequently gain host OS privileges by leveraging mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during emulation (bsc#995789) - CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792) - CVE-2016-7154: Use-after-free vulnerability in the FIFO event channel code in Xen allowed local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive information via an invalid guest frame number (bsc#997731) - CVE-2016-6836: VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device allowed privileged user inside the guest to leak information. It occured while processing transmit(tx) queue, when it reaches the end of packet (bsc#994761) - CVE-2016-6888: A integer overflow int the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support, during the initialisation of new packets in the device, could have allowed a privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994772) - CVE-2016-6833: A use-after-free issue in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support allowed privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994775) - CVE-2016-6835: Buffer overflow in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support, causing an OOB read access (bsc#994625) - CVE-2016-6834: A infinite loop during packet fragmentation in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support allowed privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS (bsc#994421) - CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675) The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    fixed :
    
      - CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in
        arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS
        administrators to gain host OS privileges via vectors
        related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785)
    
      - CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS
        administrators to overwrite hypervisor memory and
        consequently gain host OS privileges by leveraging
        mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during
        emulation (bsc#995789)
    
      - CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86
        HVM guest OS administrators on guests running with
        shadow paging to cause a denial of service via a
        pagetable update (bsc#995792)
    
      - CVE-2016-7154: Use-after-free vulnerability in the FIFO
        event channel code in Xen allowed local guest OS
        administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash)
        and possibly execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive
        information via an invalid guest frame number
        (bsc#997731)
    
      - CVE-2016-6836: VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device allowed
        privileged user inside the guest to leak information. It
        occured while processing transmit(tx) queue, when it
        reaches the end of packet (bsc#994761)
    
      - CVE-2016-6888: A integer overflow int the VMWARE VMXNET3
        NIC device support, during the initialisation of new
        packets in the device, could have allowed a privileged
        user inside guest to crash the Qemu instance resulting
        in DoS (bsc#994772)
    
      - CVE-2016-6833: A use-after-free issue in the VMWARE
        VMXNET3 NIC device support allowed privileged user
        inside guest to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS
        (bsc#994775)

        device support, causing an OOB read access (bsc#994625)
    
      - CVE-2016-6834: A infinite loop during packet
        fragmentation in the VMWARE VMXNET3 NIC device support

    descriptionThis update for xen fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed : - CVE-2016-7092: The get_page_from_l3e function in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges via vectors related to L3 recursive pagetables (bsc#995785). - CVE-2016-7093: Xen allowed local HVM guest OS administrators to overwrite hypervisor memory and consequently gain host OS privileges by leveraging mishandling of instruction pointer truncation during emulation (bsc#995789). - CVE-2016-7094: Buffer overflow in Xen allowed local x86 HVM guest OS administrators on guests running with shadow paging to cause a denial of service via a pagetable update (bsc#995792). - CVE-2016-6836: Information leakage in vmxnet3_complete_packet (bsc#994761). - CVE-2016-6888: Integer overflow in packet initialisation in VMXNET3 device driver. Aprivileged user inside guest c... (bsc#994772). - CVE-2016-6833: Use after free while writing (bsc#994775). - CVE-2016-6835: Buffer overflow in vmxnet_tx_pkt_parse_headers() in vmxnet3 deviceemulation. (bsc#994625). - CVE-2016-6834: An infinite loop during packet fragmentation (bsc#994421). - CVE-2016-6258: The PV pagetable code in arch/x86/mm.c in Xen allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS administrators to gain host OS privileges by leveraging fast-paths for updating pagetable entries (bsc#988675). - CVE-2016-6259: Xen did not implement Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) whitelisting in 32-bit exception and event delivery, which allowed local 32-bit PV guest OS kernels to cause a denial of service (hypervisor and VM crash) by triggering a safety check (bsc#988676). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
