Summary

CMPXCHG8B emulation in Xen 3.3.x through 4.7.x on x86 systems allows local HVM guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host stack memory via a "supposedly-ignored" operand size prefix.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

Only 64-bit x86 HVM guest were affected. Linux guest have not been vulnerable. (boo#1016340, CVE-2016-10013) - An unprivileged user in a 64 bit x86 guest could gain information from the host, crash the host or gain privilege of the host (boo#1009107, CVE-2016-9383) - An unprivileged guest process could (unintentionally or maliciously) obtain or ocorrupt sensitive information of other programs in the same guest.

    vulnerable. (boo#1016340, CVE-2016-10013)

    information from the host, crash the host or gain
    privilege of the host (boo#1009107, CVE-2016-9383)

  - An unprivileged guest process could (unintentionally or
    maliciously) obtain or ocorrupt sensitive information of
    other programs in the same guest. Only x86 HVM guests
    have been affected. The attacker needs to be able to
    trigger the Xen instruction emulator. (boo#1000106,

    system (boo#1014298, CVE-2016-10024)

  - A malicious guest administrator could escalate their
    privilege to that of the host. Only affects x86 HVM
    guests using qemu older version 1.6.0 or using the
    qemu-xen-traditional. (boo#1011652, CVE-2016-9637)

    the host emulator process on x86 HVM guests.

    administrator to obtain the contents of sensitive host
    files, or even delete those files (boo#1009111,
    CVE-2016-9379, CVE-2016-9380)

    the intel-hda sound emulation to consume CPU cycles on
    the host, causing a DoS situation (boo#1007160,
    CVE-2016-8909)

  - A privileged guest user could cause a crash of the
    emulator process on the host by exploiting a divide by
    zero vulnerability of the JAZZ RC4030 chipset emulation
    (boo#1005004 CVE-2016-8667)

Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, could gain privileges on the host system, cause a Denial of Service condition, or obtain sensitive information. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

  • NASL familyFreeBSD Local Security Checks
    NASL idFREEBSD_PKG_80A897A2C1A611E6AE1B002590263BF5.NASL
    descriptionThe Xen Project reports : The x86 instruction CMPXCHG8B is supposed to ignore legacy operand size overrides; it only honors the REX.W override (making it CMPXCHG16B). So, the operand size is always 8 or 16. When support for CMPXCHG16B emulation was added to the instruction emulator, this restriction on the set of possible operand sizes was relied on in some parts of the emulation; but a wrong, fully general, operand size value was used for other parts of the emulation. As a result, if a guest uses a supposedly-ignored operand size prefix, a small amount of hypervisor stack data is leaked to the guests: a 96 bit leak to guests running in 64-bit mode; or, a 32 bit leak to other guests. A malicious unprivileged guest may be able to obtain sensitive information from the host.

    NASL idCITRIX_XENSERVER_CTX219378.NASL
    descriptionThe version of Citrix XenServer installed on the remote host is missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in x86 instruction CMPXCHG8B due to legacy operand size overrides not being properly ignored when handling prefixes. A guest attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information on the host system. Note that the ability to read a small amount of hypervisor memory is restricted to privileged-mode code in all guests except on Citrix XenServer 6.2 SP1 and 6.0.2CC, where the attack may also be performed from non-privileged-mode code in HVM guest VMs. (CVE-2016-9932) - A denial of service vulnerability exists when a guest asynchronously modifies its instruction stream to effect the clearing of EFLAGS.IF. A guest attacker can exploit this to cause the host to hang or crash. (CVE-2016-10024) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference flaw that is triggered when the hvmemul_vmfunc() function pointer uses inappropriate NULL checks before indirect function calls. A guest attacker can exploit this to cause the hypervisor to crash. Note that the ability of privileged-mode code in HVM guest VMs to crash the host is restricted to AMD systems running Citrix XenServer 7.0. (CVE-2016-10025)

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number, the Xen hypervisor installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to a flaw in the x86 instruction CMPXCHG8B when handling prefixes. This is triggered because legacy operand size overrides are not properly ignored. A guest attacker can exploit this issue to disclose potentially sensitive information from the hypervisor stack of the host system. Please note the following items : - Only x86 systems are affected. ARM systems are not affected. - On Xen version 4.6 and earlier, the vulnerability is exposed to all HVM guest user processes, including unprivileged processes. - On Xen version 4.7, the vulnerability is exposed only to HVM guest user processes granted a degree of privilege (e.g., direct hardware access) by the guest administrator, or else to all user processes when the VM has been explicitly configured with a non-default CPU vendor string (in xm/xl, this would be done with a
